yeah that would give you 27" that will be fine inch or so smaller than 235/75/15s, im running 31" wheels but i need to sort the gearing out as there a bit to big and the t-box cant handel it

Hi and welcome. I would suggest 215/75/15 for your tyres. They wont upset your gearing to much and wont require any arch trimming. I think 235's need arch trimming to make them fit without rubbing. Mine is on 215's at the moment. Thats assumeing you want bigger tyres that is

. Ive got Insa Turbo Saharas, good in the mud and realy not that loud at all on the road. They dont do your mpg much good though

Where in Essex are you?

I'm in Rochford near Southend. Have a look at our club WWW.4x4er.co.UK

We meet this Sunday if you want to pop down and say hello! I'll be there with my Jimjam but won't be going in the course in it due to the amount of water I expect to be in it after this week's non stop rain!

I'll be there for a natter and a walk round the course laughing at others no doubt!
