235/75x15 tyres
V8MoneyPit:
Can anyone advise whether body/bumper mods will be needed on my SJ413 to get this size tyre on? Also, will they fit the standard rims OK, or should I be looking at wider rims?
Looking at Greenway Macho's... anyone had experience of these?
OK,OK, so I said I wasn't going to mod it too much :roll: But you know how it is! Other thing to go on is likely to be the Calmini 5" suspension kit :D
Hovis:
I've had Grizzly Claws that size on the last 2 of mine. You will have to lift it, even with a 2" shackle lift on my sami they still managed to mangle the edge of one of the arches! I have to have my wheels on backwards otherwise they hit the front springs after a turn of the steering wheel! They still catch now but only on full lock. Mine are standard rims but a friend who works for Motorsport Wheels said really the widest tires on those rims should be 205/215's, but I’ve never had any problems.
Don't know anything about Machos but can vouch for Grizzlys, absolutly brilliant tire on most terrain.
V8MoneyPit:
Hmmm.... thanks for that. I'll take a look at the offsets on aftermarket steel rims to see if they allow for more spring clearance.
How do others deal with the bigger 31x10.50 tyres? Spacers?
Popeye:
I've got spacers on mine with Grand vitara 7x16" rims and 205/16 Bronco Diamond back copys, the only thing that stops me is diff clearence but very rarely 8)
V8MoneyPit:
Right, I'm looking at the ubiquitous 7x15 white 8 spoke wheels (£25 each on eBay) and 235/75x15 Greenway Machos (naff name, but neat tread pattern!). Bit like the Mickey Thompson, but a LOT cheaper!
I think I might temper my enthusiasm a little and go for the 3.5" Calmini lift kit. It will save me £100 over the 5" version too :lol:
I'm not worried about having to chop the car about to get them to fit. Just nice to know in advance. The rear arches are a bit rough anyway.
