Hi all
Great forum - first post on here so be gentle
I am in the process of building an off road rangie classic which will be trailered everywhere - off road use only. The time has come for me to purchase the wheels/tyres and I have been recommended the Insa Turbo Special Tracks. The suspension has been lifted 2" with larger springs, and a further 2" with spacers.
The question is what size tyres do I need? I am wanting to fit them to the original 16" alloys. One firm has suggested that 235x85x16 is the size I need, which will only require only a minor modification aka "Camel Cut" to the rear arches. I dont mind doing this, but I dont want to be creating a load of work, having to modify the arches heavily if I can get away with a slightly smaller tyre.
Can anyone back this up? I have spoken to another firm who have said that the max they suggest is a 235x70x16.
What tyre combos are you chaps running - and was any modification required? Bear in mind that the vehicle will only be used for the track, so could be quite articulated at times.
Thoughts much appreciated!
I am hoping to take it to KORC this month for its first outing
Thanks
Craig
