Tyres
TechnoTurkey:
What are the largest tyres you can fit on a standard range and what would you need to do to get 265/75/16s in the arches?
Cheers!
dod51e:
I have 235/85/16's on with NO alteration required. I think that the 265/75/16's are about the same diameter, maybe a tad smaller, so you should have no problem.
TechnoTurkey:
OK thanks, plan is probably to get some bfg muds on when I can afford it!
Cheers for getting back to me.

So yes, very similar, but I would think you will need to adjust the stops?
clbarclay:
What offset are the wheels you will use?
On one of the RRC at home I had some 7.50-16 tyres, they are abouth the same diameter as a 235/85r16, but a bit narrower. On standard wheels with stiff lift springs fitted they were fine once the steereing stops were atjusted to keey them off the radius arms. However I then got another set of the same tyre on modular wheels which moved the tyres out 22mm each side compared to the previous set. On this combination they did catch a bit on the rear arches and just touched the front arches on articulation.
A Wider tyre would probably catch worse given on the rear it was rubbing partly on the tyres side wall and also note that if you get remoulded tyres, their diameter tends to come oversized compared to a new tyre
