Default One last try before I die

OK members, looking for some help here. Does anyone know of a manufacturer of wheels that make a 16" wheel that will fit a bone stock 430? Something along the lines of a Vision Shockwave. Really open on the style of wheel but would love to experiment with a 16". Have chased down several leads/ideas all coming to a dead end at one point or another.THANKS!!!

...lol....don't die....any 16in wheel with the same bolt pattern will fit.The offset & tire size will play a big part in the fitment of the rim, as it would also, if you were trying to put a 17,18, 19 or 20 inch rim on the vehicle. Is there a specific wheel that you're looking at or are you still searching ? Post the specs of the wheel & let the forum chime in.....if you were closer, I might would sell you mine...lol

...so do they offer these wheels in 18in? If so, then you could use the tires you have & save a little money,plus keep the same wheel sizing as factory

I was 50/50 btn the Roderick RW2 and the Verde Parallax. But I wanted 20's. I went with the Roderick in the end. Check those out 2ksofttail, might spark some interest with you.

Also, is there a specific reason you're downgrading to 16"?

Trying to go to 16's for more sidewall & therefore a better ride. Has anyone ever put a 16" on a 430..........will it clear the brakes?

I run 16" with Blizzaks in the winter. The look of those tail sidewalls takes a bit of getting used to. But, the ride is definitely much nicer. I run Sports Edition F12 from Tire rack. They are only about $110 each.
