Stripes:
ive just lifted my dizzy 2" and was wondering what is best size tyre to go for
i've heard about a tyre link but not able to find it

Budgie:
You'll be looking for this link then.  :wink:

To work out how large you want to go, find the diameter of the tyres your looking at, get a tapemeasure and go from the centre of the hub up towards the arch and mearsure half the diameter (radius) of the tyres to see where it will take it to.
Don't forget that if you go wider as well as taller then you may effect the turning circle and have to adjust the steering stops, unless you use wheel spacers or off-set wheels to go with the tyres.

You may also find that you need to trim the wheel arches at the rear as they sometimes catch the tyre on full artuculation.

these are 265 75 16's on a 2 inch lift, i am going to have to trim the arches slightly

Tyke:
Good guide is that one. Helped me decide what to settle on . . . . . for now  :twisted:

Didn't think the 265/75's would fit at first . . . .




But with a little cutting and persuasion . . . . .




Looks good . . . .




Wheels are steel mods with non-standard offsets btw . . . . used to run spacers on the standard alloys for same width  :wink

nickW:
tyke, did you have to cut away part of your rear doors
