whats it like without having a lift kit on ? i assume the tyres would rub? and that you have done some arch work as well( cutting and fitting extended arch's) do you think you would be able to fit 30's on yours?. I have 265/75R16 which are 32" diameter but with no suspension lift, and have none of the above issues. Maybe I have stumbled upon the best setup, or rather my careful consideration was right first time?
My dampers are a little worn and I am due to buy new suspension at some point, still as unsure as I was at the start whether to lift it (a little bit) or not!!!
well one of the main reasons i want the wide set upwith arch's and wheel and big tyres is cos i work out in the country but not in any major off roadin areas but do need to make my own path lol as i have been using a quad with a trailor and a ford ranger which isnt that good and i'm borrowing those off of different people so lookin for a more perminant car. the turning circle shouldnt be a problem as i'm not gonna be manuerving in any tight situations, but cos im not gonna be doin any serious serious off roading i can sacrifice the articulation so a certain extent but the wider wheels is a bit moe important just due to the surface's im driving on. the wheels im lookin at are quick chunky ish the off set is alot more than the stock ones from the pics 4x4 Tyres :: The Ultimate 4x4 Tyre Website :: i'm lookin at the 15x7 black 8 spoke with 30x9.50 R15 insana turbos 4x4 Tyres :: The Ultimate 4x4 Tyre Website :: as they say they are a good comprise for on/off road use, i know i will diffinately have to cut the arch's the put some wider arch's on and probably bump stops as well, but would i be able to get away with not lifting the suspension with those tyres and alloys if i did some serious srch cutting? cheers for the help budNo rubbing and on standard steel wheels. I think the people who get rubbing, are the ones running wider offset. I had to adjust the steering stops quite a bit and the turning circle is worse. Not too bad in day-to-day use but towing (maneuvring) is rubbish and off road often I need to shunt here and there. A reason to fit wider offset wheels is to counteract this. But then you need arch extensions, and maybe bump stops too - which will reduce articulation. Everything's a compromise really, but I reckon my setup is a reasonable one. The other option worth looking at is 235/85R16
