MB Motoring 15x10 wheel
 






thanks, I looked on the web site and it only has 15X7 with the 5 4.5 bolt pattern. Is that the pattern I have?
also would 15X 10 wheels fit my 31X10.5 tires?
 






Yes, you have 5x4.5. A 10.5 tire would look pretty silly on a 10" rim. You could make it work, but it wouldn't look good.
 






Hey guys,

I found these same rims on e-bay for 600.00 for all 4. auction #2422990286. I also found the same rims on disount tire direct.com for 149.00 a peice. they are all different sizes though. Can any one tell me if the lug pattern will fit on my 98 sport? I found a thread on here by jacked93 he was selling these same rims for 250.00, but I think they are sold. I woud realy like to have these rims and I keep missing out on the deals. By the way, these rims are MB motoring MB148.


Discount tire direct says the rims they have are:
16x8 8-170-6p
16.5x9.75 8-6.5 -6p

I know I have the 5x4.5 pattern, so I quess my question is, Is there another way to advertise the pattern size instead of just saying 5x4.5? I guess if im reading the sizes correctly, then every dealer I find just dosent have the size I need. they have every other size but the one that I want/need. I added on to this thread because I think it makes it easier to understand my delema. Thanks for any help that I get.
 






Hey now i have 31x10.5s on 15x10s and it dont look silly. In fact everyone that says anything to me about it likes it.
 






I just took a pic of my wheel up close its in my photo gallery if you want to take a look, sorry the pic is sideways
 






ok

Since that is my wheel in the pic I figured I would reply. Sorry it took so long. Been having puter issues. Well anyways. Those are MB Motoring 15x10 with the 5x4.5 pattern. I bought them from discount tire so they do have them. Just call them up and let them know. They actually recommended them to me when I orderd my tires.
 






I agree with biggs. I checked the pic in his album and they look tight. If your not into rock crawling, the 10" tires will have a better feel around town and such. Good luck either way. Those are some nice fish ya grabbed there too, is that in Mex?
 






Checked out the pic and it looks good, but I wouldn't try to do any serious offroading. With the rim that wide, I would be afraid of popping the bead off, especially with rock crawling.
 






thanks for sayin my wheels look tight:D, Yah got those tuna in baha mex this year, it was alotta fun! As far as the bead popping off, well I dont do a whole lot of serious off roading, but i do go where you have to have it in 4x4 all of the time, and its rock piles (old dredger ponds) so its rough terrain, and no probs yet! knock on wood
