As in the question really. Just got hold of a Rangie and have some old 235/85's to go on it but i dont know whether 1 inch lift will be enough or whether I have to go for a 2 inch, I'm only going to get a block lift as its only going to be used off road and funds are pretty tight. Does anyone know where a good place is to get them from? Cheers

simon15:
there are some on ebay at the moment for 70 quid.

I'm looking at getting them soon.

as for what lift you need. I have a 1,5 inch lift and I was running 235/85 with no probs.
they turned out to be slightly taller than my new 33'' which aint good? :(

tjsj:
Cheers for that, I'll go have a look around on the websites!

At the risk of hijacking your thread, I've got 205 x 16s on mine which are M&S tyres by Bridgestone. What effect would putting 235x85x16 MTs on its road performance especially towing?

Possibly reduced grip or does it get all rolly? I understand ATs may be a better compromise so my question is would I notice the difference off road between a Hankook and a BFG from a novice's perspective?

You would have a harder time towing, more gear changes and higher revs to overcome the increased friction between the road and the tyres, therefore more fuel consumption.

BFG's have a reputation for lasting for a lot more miles than most MT tyres (in particular remoulds). Im not really familiar with the Hankook range so i can't really comment on them.
