Post by: andyhubbard on September 22, 2007, 17:32:29

you can fit 215/70/16 BFG AT's without a lift so you should be able to go bigger than than with a lift.
see the tyre guide under technical on www.mad-freelanders.org.uk for more info

215/80/15 is about the biggest without having to mod wings and wheel arches especially with anything more than a standard road tread....slightly more height on 205/80/16 depending on what size wheels youre running. Avon s were about the best I could find in 16s and even then lacked a little off road ability http://www.avon-tyres.co.uk/?page=tyres&method=detail1&tid=17..as said madfreelanders is the place if planning off road
