Its a twat of a job to fit on a stock swing arm , dont fall into the trap of the yanks and their 20 min shit to fit it etc . A second hand rim will set you back around £500 if you can find one or get one from the states for £900 is + the postage and customs cut . Knowing what i know now i dont think i would have bothered .........but yes it does look good .. ohh and a new 280 tyre will set you back around £220 . :-) |

I may not be the sharpest knife in the draw but appart from the awesome look of the wide tyre on the rear is there realy any other benefit of a wider tyre than a 250/260 tyre to warrant the cost of a 10" wheel and a 280 tyre??????? although im thinking of getting a chrome set of wheels later into next year and was thinking of the 10" rim on the rear but not if it doesnt handle as well as a 250 tyre |

i'm thinking the same too mate but if i get a set of chromed wheels later on next year,i'll probs get the 10" if handeling aint compromised and ive seen the 250 dunny and they do look a fair bit wider than the stock 240 |

Guys you need to be carefull with tyres from different countrys as the might not have the safety Certs for the uk uses law then your insurance will be null and void if anything happens. Metzeler for me every time they ar fantastic |
