Stupid tyres

[bigwill]

hi, sorry another tyre post but have searched and no luck.

anyone know if you can get 33/12.5/15 bfg mt's on a 90 with nothing other than a 50mm lift kit?

i'm pretty sure a mate has a set of 35's on his ex mod with just the lift, and they seem fine, just want to make sure the mod landys dont have built on spacers or bigger arches or anything.

cheers.

you will need to adjust the steering stops to stop them hitting the radius arms and you will need some wider arches to stop them poking out too far

ha, yeh the 35's on the mates poke out miles, gets it nice and muddy! we got stopped by the plod whilst greenlaning, they had a good look at the cars but nothing about tyres hanging out on his. is it illegal or not?

yeh steering stops not a problem, i guess.

If the tyres protrude past the outermost part of your wheel arch and are not fully 'covered' then this is an offence (Construction and Use Regs 1986)
It could mean 3 points on your licence and a £60 fine if you use them on a public road...'Danger of injury due to condition of vehicle', or at least a vehicle rectification notice.

thats 3 points per wheel i might add to that...

denied. extended arches it is for you if you want stupid tyres. alternatively look at 255/85 r16 muds. They are 33" x ~10.75" wide got them fitted to my 90.
