Luck?! 
"Planning" you mean?!
We discussed the ultimate tyre and gearing combination at great length on this very forum somewhere...?
It was my quest for good on-road gearing and not too much fitting hassle that lead me to 235/75/15s...
That and the fact I already had them on the Zukhini Vitara, for the same reasonings...
Well chuffed!

Thanks guys
As above, the wheels and tyres came off my previous vehicle as the tyre size suited this new build... the wheels are old strong alloys off a Vitara, and are the right offset as mate Gary said above... and they're silver so match the theme and original panelling on the bottom of the vehicle... An ORA rear bumper and sill protection bars are on their way, bare steel again so that I can get them powdercoated in Silky Silver locally to get a reasonably close match... So the wheels will have to do
Thanks James (j999pre), yes, thought about ths build a lot, before and during... this is to be my last project so I want it 'right', visually and mechanically... after this build I plan to 'lane one Sunday a month, maintain another Sunday a month, and... spend the other two Sundays relaxing and spending time with the family, dogs, DIY, etc, etc... Slow down a bit, now I'm the ripe old age of 46! :ohmy:
