    Question My 32" tyres on 18" rims (255/70R18)

    Thought I'd share some pictures of my 255/70R18 (32") fitted to the standard 18" HSE rims (gives me an extra 1.5" of clearance under the diffs over the standard 29").

    The pictures don't do them justice, they look huge on the vehicle and it now looks like it doesn't actually have a suspension lift any more! Thinking about getting the White Tiger 2" suspension raiser kit now.

    The last picture shows the tiny gap between the tyre and the Britparts Steel rear bar.

    Cut your guards instead. Keep your weight and centre of gravity down low.

    Bridgestone Dueler Revo 2 All Terrains. I wanted something a bit more aggressive, but wasn't much else in the size.

    I have found them very very nice on the road so far. Since that is where most of my driving is done, that's a good thing. Not noisey and the new gearing for the vehicle is much better in my opinion. Lower revs, so less noise cruising on the highway.

    That's when it'll be time for 35"!
