Tyre Sizes - Rough Guide Thread

Just trying to experiment with keeping the car as low as possible but with big boots

When did a 3" become a minimal lift

It depends if your running new tyres or remoulds. Also what kind of springs you've installed. Standard lift springs may not lift the vehicle as much as intended if it's loaded with winches, cage, batteries and such.

I run 2" Trail Master Heavy Duty Diesel springs and have no problem running 30" tyres. Next year I will probably swap them for 31" Silverstones as they're not remoulds, and so much lighter.. Which has a noticeable effect on power

TomDK what wheels and Tyres do you run at the moment?

Look in my signature
235/75/15 special tracks. But they're remoulds, so actual height's 30".. And pretty heavy

Wheels are standard 3 spoke alloys. 5,5 x 15" I believe

Cheers

Sorry didnt see it in the signature it's tiny on my phone

I've got a completely standard '56 Jimny - no lift or anything.

I have 215/75/15 General Grabbers fitted - there's millimetres in it, but there's no rubbing or catching - even when flexed.
They look very chunky, and have been fantastic in snow.

If bought 265/75/r16

Guessing I've got no chance with no lift then ?
Would they fit if the arches and bumper were cut ?
