Has anyone had experince withing putting wider offset rims on a Brumby?

I am about to purchase a set of 14" rims and tires for my Brumby but the tire guy says the wider offset causes problems and they shake?

I am not increasing wheel diameter just going from 13' to 14' because there are no AT tires available for the old 13's

Hoping I have posted this in the right place.

Cheers

G'day Romen and welcome to the forum.

Wider offset with stock rolling diametre will fit without issue. The wobbling they talk about can come from the rim not being properly centred on the hub. This occurs as the spigot doesn't meet the hole on those rims (and forget the rear spigot - many brumbys don't have one!). New rims shouldn't be an issue, older worn rims can be temperamental at times. A set I had needed adjusting on one particular rim several times until it was good after removing that rim for one reason or another.

Cheers
