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! _________________ Happiness is being owned by a Jack Russell Terrier! |

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. _________________ Interested in a good Super Exceed high top crystalite 7 seater with the works and a sorted fuel pump etc. doesn't need to be perfect PM me if you have any leads. |

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. _________________ Regards

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