« on: January 17, 2008, 21:37:25 »
I decided on some tyres for Rusty,I was going along the lines of dont want any too big!!! Well that plan went out of the window  :twisted:

And I bought some 265/75R16 Insa Turbo Special Tracks



dont think they will fit without doing some modding got a 2" body lift and some 1" lift springs,think I will be getting some lift blocks to go under the springs :grin:

Got 235x85 witha 2 inch lift on the white RR but I think you will need to trim the back door and possibly the front wing as well. They will ikely catch on full flex, best of luck and they will howl on the road !

Road noise will be interesting but its not a daily drive,so not a huge problem.

 :lol:I run General Ats on mine and find they are much better for using in the Lake district than Muds as the Muds can't get any grip on the rock due to big lugs and no rubber on the rock itself ! Horses for courses they say, get mine in mud and I am lost and you will sail past !

I used to run 33s on my last rangie with 2" body lift and 2" suspension lift without cut arches. Only had minor scrubage but then wasn't used for anything extreme. Cutting the arches isnt a problem tho just cant afford the arches at the moment. Anyone want to buy a Kidney? :lol:

Depending on your wheel choice you may be able to get away without extended archs, The SVA manual I have states the wheel must be covered from above by bodywork, not the tyre.

As for clearance from lifts, this is with 1.5" of body and 1.5" of spring, but with soft springs and long travel suspension it still only just clears a 7.50r16. Look at the rear wheel below and see what I mean. That reminds me, must send chuggaman an email.
