    Who is running 35's?

    Is there anyone in Melbourne that is running 35's? I would like to fit them to my D2 but would like to see how they fit first.
    I know a 4" lift is recommended, but I think they will fit fine with a 2" lift and cut guards which is what I have.

    If someone in Melbourne could let me try them on it would be great.

    Adam, I have yet to trial it, but from my measurements on my vehicle 315/75R16 (which is almost 35") would fit with a 3" lift and the Les Richmond White Tiger flares on my D2a. At only 2" lift I'd have some rubbing.

    Also to consider is the wheel offset (+30mm). From my calculations, the fronts will rub at turn on my unless I wind out the steering stops to suit obviously or get more offset wheels (e.g. +6mm) to retain the full steering.

    I have been keeping an eye out on Gumtree and my local 4WD forum for some second hand tyres in this size to trial (I can't justify the expense of buying new straight up) - it would also be good to have the used tyres for the engineering process as they'll be a little bit smaller and the vehicle a little bit lower than brand new ones...

    Yes, I'll go wide offset. Looking at walker rims where I can get whatever offset I want.

    The other alternative is to go 35x10.5 tyres. It's just a pity there are no 35x11.5 as this would be perfect.

    I am running air suspension which is why I don't want to go higher than 2" lift. But I can live with minor rub. But would still like to see it on the vehicle.

    I think the Centipede comes in 35x11.5-16 with the triple center rows.

    Hi Simon. Yes, this is what I have on the Rangie but I am trying to steer clear of crossply this time. The price keeps going up and quality going down. My last set were virtually unbalanceable. Also they are closer to 36" which would be too big.

    10.5 and 11.5 centipedes have 2 lug centers. All 3 lug are 12.5 and are available in 35 and 36.

    Still debating whether I put 35" on mine so far the 33" have brought me nearly everywhere others with 35" went. I'm wondering how much difference it would really make in tackling difficult stuff?

    You can get the tyres I have (Interco SSR) in a 305/70/16 which is 34" - Probably not too wide and just a little smaller to help with the potential rub with a 2" lift
