what were the Maxxis worth

Got them for 240 a tyre in SW Syd.

good price

[Shamo]

good choice, i have the same set up with a 2 inch lift and i didnt have to cut my body at all and i have been in some fairly flexy situations stock rims are the cheapest and best choice for this situation distortion, you could probably find a cheap set on ebay or somewhere

I have 6....about to have 10

Well i just bighorns in 245/75/16 put on my d1 yesterday, decided to go with a set of stock steel discovery rims 2nd hand and kept my aloys with the standard tyres on. As for triming the rear guard i took about 30mm off in a diagonal cut from the back corner and trimed about the same off the inside of the wheel arch so still looks like stock and clears the tyre nicley.

That's all I did and went about my merry way for a few weeks thinking it had done the job ; Until I crossed it up really hard on some deep ruts

I now have no mudflap on the right hand side and a bent panel. Do yourself a favour and cut a little more off if you're going to go hard out in the bush

Thanks for all the responses

Just got back from a property which backed onto the Walpole national park had a great time on some of the tracks people don't get to access due to the entrence being on private property.


Anyway tyres would the 245/75/R16 be too much for a 300tdi with no change to fueling or should i look at that too, the d1 was struggling to stay on 110kph on some of the hills but i think this was the corugations shaking up sediment in the tank as it ran a bit rought for a couple of hours but would happily get to 120/130 overtaking by the time i got back to Perth

Anyone have any recomendations on where to go for a good price on tyres in Perth

put mine up on the forklift today (thanks DW) just to double check it still misses

and it does just! we didn't stuff it right in as we only needed to know whether or not it would catch....still i would like to get my hands on some D1 flares just so we could trim more and hide it.
Please bear in mind keithy that I have already cut my guards...so If all you have cut is that little corner i would be inclined to cut more...







These are 245/75/16 maxxis bighorns..on a D1..with 2" lift and procomp wheels 12mm offset

[keithy47]

Yeah forklift would make things easy to check lol, do you have any close up shots of the triming on your guards?
