Another tyre question

Gspdad · May 18, 2011

Hi,
Just wondering if a set of 285's would go straight onto my 2000 110 double cab

Read through loads of tyre threads and just got more bamboozled!!!!!!

Do i need to adjust anything and if so how easy is it to do?
Any advice and idiots guide would be much appreciated!!!

Atb George.

285s need a lift.... and will rub the front radium arms on lock, reducing turning cirle

lot depends on if you have standard wheels or more off-set or spacers

Andy Land · May 18, 2011

Standard wheels you'll need to adjust the stop locks which is a simple job ... unless like mine one of them is badly seized and snaps off!

Thanks for all the info

Don't know what wheels the tyres are on at the mo! but was looking at putting them onto my steel modulars that I got from Paddocks.
My Landy does seem a bit higher than the norm! Don't know if it's had a lift or anything or just some heavy duty suspension fitted :doh:
Is the steering adjustment easy to do or does it affect alignment etc? Quite happy to potter about with some of the easier stuff and get my shiny socket set I got for the Landy dirty!!!!

The stop locks are simple to do ... You'll need to unscrew them about 6mm from standard if my memory serves me right. It will just make your turning circle a little less than it was!

Or you could just know when they are going to rub and not adjust them

Not if you tell the MOT tester when they're going to rub too!
