    what is the biggest tryes u have fitted to a DII

    looking at getting a second set of rims and put some decent 4wd rubber on them for weekends and my holiday down in tassie in a couple of months and just wondering what people have on there cars and any issues? probably get a set of rims from brothers not a bad price compared to others and not to bad looking either.

    33" Simex JT2's. These are actually 33.7" and will fit on the D2 with just a 2" spring lift and some adjustment to the steering stops.

    About 265/75 seems to be the go with a bullbar and no rubbing. 255/85's will still give a bit of a run behind the washer area. All of the bigger sizes also require a bull bar.

    I run 265/75R17 BFG Muds on my D2 with an ARB bull bar and 40mm lift - perfect. Another in our club runs 33" Muds on his D2 and has rubbing issues.

    265/75R17 ?

    17 inch rims, is it a typo or aftermarket mags?

    Have you fitted a speedo correction to it?

    Can they be fitted on standard height?

    Apologies 16" rims. Yep, also fitted the Truspeed speedo correction unit, works a treat and allows you to run 2 sets of different dia tyres - just flick a switch betwen the two.

    Its not the money that kills, its the time to cut the guards and particularly the doors then finishing it off.

    Actually the money does hurt.
