I'm searching online for tyre quotes and none of the websites I'm trying seem to stock tyres in the size i need. 285/75/R16. can anyone help.

Also how do i know how big i can go with my tyres, id like to get a set of chunky AT 300/80/r16s.. oh yeah,,,,and id prefer white lettering..lol. 8)  is this even possible :?

before you ask i have no clearance issues, i have a 5 or 6" lift all round with spacers and HUUUUUUGE wheel arches with a steel bar extension on the sliding door to get by the HUUUUUUUGE wheel arches on the back.. :D

Try giving Micheldever Tyres a ring. They are brilliant, if they haven't got them or get them for you - nobody can!

Try an online site called blackcircles [dot] com I think, even if you don't like what you see there itll give you and idea of what makes to concentrate on.

how big you want to go depends on the depth of the wallet....

overall diameter of 31" seems the max diameter with a 2" lift, more than that needs about a 6" lift! thats expensive as you in effect have to drop the front subframe, and then thats loads of work, can be done though....

I've been looking at 235/85/16 and with the correct off set wheels it should fit... just, any wider it would deffo catch.

Currently run 31" x 10.5" x 15" and they catch a little when reversing.

These Guys have them.

I bought my tyres from them a couple of months ago and fully recommend them.
