Hi guys,
Anyone using the above size tyres? if so what have you got in the way of lift and how much arch trimming was required?
Ive got a 2" suspension lift on mine and want to run some bigger mt tyres, 235's dont seem to give that much more clearance over the 215's i have on at the moment.
Will i need to alter the gearing in the t box if i go with this size? whats the biggest size you can get away with with out needing to alter the gearing?
What sort of offset should i go with on the rims?
And finally anyone got any pictures showing arch trimming and bigger tyres?!
Thanks for your patience :blush:

In my opinion you should have reduction gears no matter what the tire size is, because it makes offroad driving so much easier and more fun that way!

i havent ever seen 265 75 15 tyres to be honest
but a 235 75 15 will be around 29'' tall , the 215 , 235, 265 part of the tyre is the width not the height this is represented by the second number being percentage of the width
so a 235 75 15 is 235mm wide with a side wall 75% of 235mm =176mm or 6.9'' per side of the rim .
