So are D1 rims 18 or 19 inch and approx. what height are your tire profiles overall?


Cheers, Mick

Mick, they are BFG MT 255 85 16s, approx 32" OD...

(probably the tallest tyre that will fit in the spare wheel space in a Perentie)

some vehicles may need an exhaust pipe mod to clear the tyre - other posters have indicated that the tyres have been too close to the rear spring mount - haven't had the problem with ours

D1 rims are 16x7", and I'm guessing (rusty memory) 87 County is using 255/85-16 tyres, (33.3" OD) as a lot of us do.

[Edit] well that spun around in cyberspace for half an hour before posting and is superfluous to requirements now ! Mobile phones .....

100k is 2400rpm with 235/85R16 tyres, LT95 and speedo close to accurate. Only snag with fitting an OD to a perentie is if you have a winch you have to decide which one you want more as you can't have both. The winch drive gear is the one that you have to remove to fit the OD gear on the mainshaft. I know which one I prefer to have!. I don't have a problem with engine noise etc in mine, I can easily have a conversation at 100k.
