Thread: Woohoo... new tyres....

nice set pete, best come down to the creek tomorrow - might need something with traction to drag me out if it rains.

Having just driven about 1km on them I can confirm they will definetley not be used everyday.......

Harry, Where you going Ormeau? If so give me a shout if you get in a mess and I will gladly come and get equally stuck

cheers

So the next question is - what mods did you need to make to get them to fit?

I know that you can't get them in a 33" on a 16" rim, maybe on a 15" rim. I'm toying with the idea of the MT-117 Sport as the next set of play rubber.

Peter,

The joys of a Defender.

it only needed a 2" lift and maybe a bit of plastic trimmed. thats it!

I have trimmed the plastic arches a bit before and if they do rub them, I may well tweak them a bit more.

Ahh Pete, but they come in a 285/75/r16 which is 32.8 inches! Close enough dude!

Good lookin tyres and rims you got there. Not as good as the silver set on a certain RRC but still ok for a Defender.

How did the offset go on your truck. It was spot on with ours.

Justin. ( no driving for us as I am beefing up the swivel housings from 6 bolt to 8 bolt)
