SVX and 285/75r16 KM2's

[Allan]

Not wanting to hi jack another post I thought I might ask this question as a seperate thread. Will 285/7516's fit 7JJ SVX rims without a lift or any other modification and without rubbing or causing other problems that may cause trouble both from the vehicle or she who pays the bills. If not and I go ahead and buy them out of my bosses tax refund, and any problems start, I think this time she will cut off the bits of my anatomy that decended at a very young age. This is my last chance at the tyre choice I feel so I need to get it right.

What are you using the vehicle for and why do you feel that you need to go to 285's anyway?

[Tombie]

No they wont fit
Yes they will rub
No they arent legal on 7" rims

Get 255-85 KM2s... They fit nice, are legal and roll along really well (not as much drag as fatties)

I use it a lot pulling the boat up the beach/rivers in the Kimberley region. I think I may go with tombie's idea of the 255's. Does anyone have pictures of 110 shod with 255/85 KM2 so I can show the boss?

Hey Allan,

I have been looking at 265/75/16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ's. All report they seem to be a very good all round - off road orientated tyre. At this stage this is what I intend to buy.

In the old talk they 10.5 x 32".

The fella at the tyre shop said that they had put 285 on 7" rims, but they did not recommend it, he went on to say 7 1/2” rims were about the minimum he would suggest.

Cheers

I've got 265/75/16 Toyo MT's on the wifes ninty but on 8 inch rims. These work well on it. I originaly had them on the Puma but it didn't like the 8 inch rims for some reason, wheel wobble problem at times.
