BFG Tyres.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to fit 285/75/16 BFG Mud Terrain tyres onto my 2002 90 without them rubbing the inner arches on full lock??
Or are 265/75/16 tyres the largest without modifying/lifting??

It's a standard Defender 90 and hasn't been modified/lifted.

Many thanks gang!
Fraze

No you cant i got 265/70/16s on mine and they rub the radius arms

Thanks.

Anyone else had any experience of this size??

Fraze

Rubbing the radius arms just needs the steering lock stops adjusting. I'd be more concerned about em hitting the bodywork when the axle moves.

I am running BFG MT 285 - 75 - 16 on my 90 with no problems

Heres how the 265/75/16s look if your interested

ive got 285 - 75 - 16 on my 90 with no problems

This is what 285-75-16`s look like on Boost alloys

fook me they clog up easily don't they. shud of fitted 255 85 16's they wunt look like they're about to pop off the rims then. I can see frum that pic why they have so many problems with tyre wall damage though

265/75/16 fit without adjustments with wheel spacers and don't rub the body work on mine

not very self cleaning are they. kumho's are better than that

ffs yella are you tryin to be an olympic torch bearer for the chinese, as you are always pushin there products

I've got some 265/65R18 BFG All Terrains on mine (on 18" Range Rover alloys) but I've also got wheel spacers on. I wouldn't like to go any bigger with the wheels though until I get the lift sorted out as you can see from the pics! Also, if you do fit wheel spacers, I would definitely recommend fitting some wider wheel arches for obvious reasons!

235/85/16 are taller than 265/75/16 but thinner i pick my up at 3 today i'll let you know how they are and yes yella they are kumhos kl71

255/85's on wolf rims=the thinking mans choice

even taller than your 235's mnc and not much wider

Just got the kumhos on they look the dogs nuts you would get away with another inch or so but the true test will be off road cause there aint much clearance left
