What are the real advantages of bigger tyres other than the Tonka truck look ? :) I've got 235/85/16s on mine now and think the big tyres look pretty cool but can't see what other plusses they'd have.

You can easily fit 35"s on a 90 or 110, Andy (seven stars) has them on his 110 with a 2" lift :)

On standard suspension i know you can fit 265/75-16's and probably larger too without any problems.

Ground clearance under the diffs usually, plus they look cool, change your gearing and generally have more agressive tread patterns :)

I can't believe those could possibly give you the full turning circle without rubbing?

Mine dont rub at all. And as said, the real advantage is the greater clearence between the floor and the diffs. Also, they give you a nicer ride. I had 235 85 16's on mine before the 33's. And they definately ride better.

you should easily get 35" tyres on there but you may have to trim the plastic arches a little and adjust the lock stops depending on the offset of the rims you are using and the tyre width.

consider raising the suspension an inch or 3 to make it look right

big is good!

they replaced some worn out 265/75R16s

they only catch the plastic wheelarch when on full articualtion and full lock but they only rub as opposed to snag.

no adjustment to steering lockstops, the rims have just about the right offset
