Hi,

My Delica is lifted a bit and has 16" alloys. Used to have 245/75 tyres but they were oversize for sure and rubbed on the wheel arches at the front.

I have just put 235/70's on and they look a bit small, though they no longer cause problems with rubbing. Plus the economy should be better and the steering is much lighter.

I'm putting a picture below, I'd appreciate people opinions on whether they look too small (even though I won't be buying a another set!).

I think the Deli looks fantastic but it is hard to give much judgment on the tyres with the dark photo. Have you any with a bit better light?

Nise wheels and bus though :D

Jon :D

not sure about standard tyre sizes as mine has 16 inch wheels on the back

and 15 inch wheels on the front at the moment, tyres being

205/75/15 front and 215/70/16 back,

wheels look similar to yours that I have on at present, just not painted

have just bought some 15 inch alloys from that site and was about to get some goodyear wrangler at for £63 on mytyres - look nice and chunky I thought.

I think I will black under the arches.

One last question, What pressure should I have in the tyres?
