Another D1 Tyre thread

[dullbird]

opps sorry mick I though you were in a D1 my bad hence you asking in a D1 tyre thread! yes you should have no issues on a D2

[DiscoMick]

No, you were right, I am in a D1. I was just noting the different size wheel arches so what's true for one is not necessarily true for the other. Noted a couple of D2s at Kenilworth recently with bigger arches allowing bigger tyres without rubbing.

Hi Guys,
Dont mean to hijuck but didnt want to start another threaad but i am looking at Bighorns and wanted to go 265/75/16s on a steel wheel. I have a 2inch lift. Dont mind a bit of cutting. The other option is the same as dullbird 245/75/16. Any help will be appreciated.

Well after a very long wait new wheels arrived



In the end it was Procomp Series 87 with +12mm offset and 245/75/R16 Bighorns
I'm very happy with the result and thanks for all the input

Just need to find some plastic strips off a d2 to cover the rear guard where I attacked it with an angle grinder =)
