Any suggestions, ideas, preferably definite answers on what offsett to run that will give maximum turning circle and still allow them to slip up inside the guards? Currently have a 2" lift on her.

Cheers in advance

Do you mean 285/85 or 255/85 ???

I have 255/85 on disco rims with +20mm offset and 285/75 on disco rims with +30mm offset (both 33" diameter). The latter hit the rear (metal) wheel arches on articulation.

Not quite sure how to take that pheeny

but yep 285/85-16's (35x11.5r16)

had been suggested +25 offset but that's from rangy lover Grimace so assuming a bit more to play with on a fender

Why go to 35's when you could put 44's on

I'd be surprised if that has a decent turning circle without the guards cut, but an impressive machine. Its nice to see big tyres without a heap of lift. I like it.

wonder how much the winch gets used on the flat

can't say i would fancy putting a ground anchor down out there

........stab it in one minute start winching and find yourself flaoting away on an ice cap
