Thread: 18" wheel height

265/75 16 or 265/65 18 would be the biggest most would run. Although if he's making it in the view to continue selling it a 33" would be a safer bet.

I have 265/65 on 18" rims and they're 803mm dia. 31.5" dia in old money. Thats per spec. I haven't taken the tape measure out.

I think a 33" tyre would cover all bases.

I take it that you are not the Benji referenced above?

You picked it, Steve is referring to Benji from Rampt customs

My KM2 265/75/16 were about 810mm diameter when brand new off memory. Not sure if that helps, but thats the biggest I'd go without extended bump stops or guard trimming.

Thats about all I can add.

Too many Benji's

I think the largest tyre on the placard plate on a P38 is about 29.5" so the largest you can legally go in Australia is about 31.5" but judging from the monster tyres on many Nissotas the police aren't too interested, however, insurance companies will use any excuse to weasel out of a claim.

I use the 265/75R16 KM2s which are about 32" when new and they can just catch the inner arches under extreme articulation so I wouldn't go bigger than that anyway.
