if you look at my aviator pic you'll see mine sitting on 245/70r16's.
Thats the biggest that will go before you have to mod the wheel arches.

no worries, if you don't mind a little cutting then the 245/75R16 is the next size up. These are a little fatter, you need to cut about 2" from the lower rear wheel arch, not much involved :wink:
Front wheel arches are not effected with this size.

If it's standard height I'd suggest 235/70 R16.  If you buy remoulds then you'll find a MT a little bigger than a road tyre the same size.

Shame you're so far mate or I'd offer to lend you some to try.

Hi MaZza,

Do you have any plans (dimensions) for your front bumper as I have a welder sitting in my shed dying to get fabricating  :wink:

thanks all for the help,,and the offer to let me try some..gonna try and get some 245/75 to fit,,,worth a laugh....for dimensions,,i used 100x140x10 box for the front which i cut 800mm longthen used the same box to flair the sides but angled it in and up to go flush to the edges,then 25x50 box round the sides to finish it off,,,just made it up as i went along really!!!
more pics below....gonna put some recovery points either side of the number plate to finish it off...
