i wanted to go for this tyre and wheel set up mac 5 and ex jungle trecs

-
what sort of money would we be talking for a set of five ?

Try speaking to Patrick at 'Specialist Leisure', he's a friend of my brother-in-law, who tells me there are good deals every so often
(Doesn't do the Mach 5's though)
Patricks got quite an interesting collection of J**P's, including a SEEP & A Forward Control (that got mangled on a trailer, due to a blowout a couple of years ago though)
The red 'HUMVEE' is his as well, very cramped inside.

Leo,
What do you intend to use the vehicle for ?
Knowing that will help us to offer an opinion 8)
-
i have a work van so its a weekend car really
i will want to take it off road as devils pit is just down the road
from me :wink:
but i also intend to be driving it to czech republic maybe once a year
and when there it will be off road again
just wanted to no sizes which i should go for ?
-
Personally, I'd go for one of the 33 inch sizes. The 10.5 should fit under the arches best, and will give you reasonable road manners.
The wheel / tyre combination is likley to set you back around 200-250 quid a corner, so it's a serious consideration.
Hope this helps

cheers mate :wink:

Don't let Pat hear you calling his HUMMER a HUMVEE but hey your right about the room inside
-
i would go for the 35's.they do look nice together but would you really want to drive all that way on extremes?? i only use my for short journeys and thats bad enough.

I wouldn't... not unless you also want to go for the 24 spline strengthened half-shafts, 4 pin diff carriers and uprated CV's
....and that all costs a lot more money :oops:

I have 35's, mach 5,s on my 300 tdi 90 with standard axles. Used for 6mnths with no breakages. Unbeatable off road but poo on the road.
Your choice
Pete
