Title: will these tyres fit ?
Post by: v8kenny on November 05, 2005, 21:12:45: Hi
Just picked up a 1990 vogue se
Tyres are 205/16 on 3 spoke alloys but really tyres are well past it
I have a set of 235/75 all terrains kicking around - I know these will be fine height wise but will they fit ok onto alloys
Any help appreciated
Thanks
Kenny

The rims are no prob, you could get 235/85s on (quite popular) or even a 265 without difficulty but do you jave alift? if not the tread will get close to the bodywork, try cross-axling it on ramps and check before going into the brown stuff.

hence im wanting to lift mine :P

Post by: v8kenny on November 07, 2005, 21:06:17: No lift - Rangie is completely standard (and in cracking nick)
Only non standard thing is a Warwick Banks handling kit fitted by previous owner - dont suppose this will do it any favours off road !

I do a kit if, your interested PM me. :)
