Fitting monster tyres to my beast
snezza69:
Thanx all for your input, I will try them out as is and post an update as to whether they work or not (if anyones interested that is).....
Jim-Willy:
We are interested, 900's could look most cool, piccys would be nice too!

There are quite a few, at the cheaper end M&M 4x4 & Paddocks do the Bearmach kits, make sure you tell them if you have (or intend to put) a winch or other heavy items on the motor as this will effect what springs your supplied with.
Explorer ProComp do their own kits.
Devon 4x4 sell Old Man Emu (OME) kits, these are very good but like everything else, you get what you pay for!
Famour Four also do their own springs with a choice of shocks but they only seem to make +1" springs. :?
Most of these advertise in the 4x4 mag's and all have websites so I'd grab a mag and start scanning. :wink:

Thanks Budgie, I will consider all those options. I have just got the new wheels today and they are actually 255/100 R16's (they do also have 900 on the tyre) They fit on OK if a little tight at the front. I have had to cut the back of the front arches for turning but I still get a slight rub on cornering. A lift kit may be the only option. They dont half look good though........Mmmmmmmm.
