Tyres are bfg 225 /70/16 no need for spacers but I am planning on fitting 32mm spacers in the near future

Thanks, thats the size I am looking at. I was considering 235/70's but thats maybe pushing my luck without spacers. I have road-biased 236/60's on it jut now and they are tight.

235/70 will fit fine with modulars, be a bit tight on standard 16's though

That's why I got my heap wheels... Bigger ofset and wider than the standard rims.

Yeah, but Im not going to buy another set of wheels. I have to keep my old steel 15's as it needs the original size tyres to pass inspection here, and I have 16" alloys just now, which I like the look of. I would rather go for spacers than new rims if I decide on more width.

I'm quite pleased with them. Make the Scorpions on the front look very tame.

Of course I know what i've done. Don't panic!!!! The rear have a larger circumference to the front so no fear of damage to VCU + IRD. I've always put new to the back and changed in pairs.
