    New Wheels & Tyres Arrived Today

    I got these from Silverline Silverline Wheels and Tyres for Cars, SUV's, 4x4's and Motorsport. Very impressed with the service and got a good price. Not sure about other suppliers, cos I was looking originally at 315/75R16 - and found not that many suppliers did these. Not sure what size...

    Bigger feet for my truck

    Found these: Devon 4x4 Off Road - Compomotive AT Alloy Wheel : COMPAT8.5X16 : Off Road Equipment from Devon 4x4 Assuming it is these on the compomotive web site (ATRR type) ATRR 4x4 Offroad Wheels ...with an offset of 5mm they should take the 305 tyres without spacers.

    Bigger feet for my truck

    would like bigger tyres, so looking for alternative alloys. Hoping to find some alloys where the offset is low (it's 8mm for the 16x8 steel mods) or negative (its -32mm with the 15x10 steel mods). Rims need to be at least 8".

    Bigger feet for my truck

    Got discs on the back, but I thought 15" would be OK? Got the offset for the Offender 16x8 from the Devon 4x4 site - at 25mm pretty sure I would need spacers regardless of tyre size

    Bigger feet for my truck

    Thanks Steve. btw your previous posts were very helpful in narrowing the choice. On the hunt for alloys, looked at many web sites in the Defender alloys section there is not much choice above 16x7. I suspect ther are many other that would fit such as compomotive, but not sure which ones fit.

    Bigger feet for my truck

    Hi all, just bought a 2003 90. Currently got Boost alloys and BFG AT 235/85/R16 tyres. I need the widest wheels/tyres and largest diameter tyres without a lift or wheel spacers and ideally retaining the standard wheel arch/spats. TBH more for the look than any other reason. (After far...
