I have a second set of tyres 215/75 BF Goodrich MTs, and when I put them on the tyres completely fill the arches.

I have just got some spacers 32mm (thanks Adam!) and fitted them with my 205/75 Bridgestone Duellers on and the tyres do stick out a little more than the 215s. So that means the 215s with the spacers would protrude a lot. Also after fitting the spacers, but with the Duellers I took it for a spin and noticed more wobble between 40-45mph (hardly anything before). Not had a chance to check with the BFGs on, will report when I do.

Cheers

Thanks very much for the info everyone, much appreciated.

It seems in these new times of continual additional legislation our tyre choices are going to get harder to make. It looks like many of the tyres we know and love are going to be replaced. What we dont want when we spend a lot of money on tyres is in the event of a replacement being needed not being able to source one.

I think my plan will be to source the tyres and wait to see how I get on before the final decision on the spacers. I will let you know how I get on.
