would like to take the next step in 4x4 capabilities
i would like to fit 29" or 30" tires to the brumby, and cant seem to find tires in 14'.
i know that re-drilling hubs might be the go.. but i gave it a go myself last weekend (on a spare hubs) and i wasnt confident with my work
or can somone who is confident in there work with 6stud conversions and who would like to help me please speak up
money, hugs or alcohol is offered

I've seen Luke82's success with Hilux 15" steel rims (5 lug? 6lug?) on his L Series.
He uses two of the factory holes and two others drilled to match the Subaru four-lug pattern.
I saw he had 225/70R-15 tyres, which is nearly 28" tall.

I did it with Nissan terrano rims running 29's. Use a drill press to do the holes and make sure the new studs press fit in.
Have a search, I did a thread for my six stud conversion. Best mod I did to the car

If you have look on ebay you can find a 17" rim in the 4x140 pattern or
You could look at buying some rota brand wheels with specified stud pattern or
upgrade to five stud brakes with a crossbred brake kit.
Good luck with the search

I got my 15,s Ina group buy a few years ago on the forum was about 80 made so some may pop up for sale one day. If not approach a wheel manufacturer have a chat get some blanks made up to pcd and required offset. I think that's all was done with the first lot. But because of the interest in them at the time a certain member footed the cost for 80 rims which made rims cheaper again. I got mine for $66 each I think that was cost price. Obviously less rims made more it will cost

Drilling wheels isn't rocket science. Get a drum brake as a template, punch out the two studs you want to drill, centre-punch and away you go.
Or track down some Pug 15" rims from a 504/505 GTi.

Or if you don't trust yourself drilling the holes accurately,get a engineering place to do it,pretty sure it wouldn't cost that much for a few holes drilled.I don't have a drill press myself so that's what i will be doing if i go down that path,i have an old nissan steel wheel as a template.
