+55 offset is a lot. You may need spacers but make sure you get bolt on spacers not bolt through. They also need to be hubcentric. Anything else is dangerous...

20mm is good?

 

[taza]

20 or 25 will be fine.

 

[NachaLuva]

Yeah, I wouldnt go any more than 25mm That will make your total offset +30

 

[Rammster]

This is the wheel i'm using. I like then and don't want to change for another so i try to find a 20 or 25 wheel spacer

tomorrow i install the Original struts and 2" strut lift

Hi guys

I install only 1" Subtle Strut spacer and i loved

now is time to install the tires/wheels

i thinking in use a +35 wheel maybe use 5mm/7mm spacer (F/R) so the result is +30 in front and +28 in rear

is ok to use a 215/75r15 tires?

sorry for the noobs questions

They will fit on a SG. They might rub a little on full lock.

Wont be happening for a month or two but ill be needing some new ATs for my Brumby offroader. Looking around I have found that Nankang FT-7s make an AT that offers the PERFECT size for my ute (205/75/14).

Has anyone heard of or had any experience with these? The few reports I can find online are generally very positive saying they are a great tire for the money.

Secondly does anyone know where I'd be able to actually find a Nankang seller in WA?

Heres a link to the tires:

235/60r16 on ET35 with 1" lift kit fix on my 2003 XT?

 

[jf1sf5]

Should fit ok ! The tires will be very close to the spring perch/strut though.

Are they 16x7 rims ?

i have 2 7mm spacer and 2 5mm, i think in use the 7mm on the front wheel and the 5mm on the rear wheel

the final off set will be 28 in fron and 30 in rear.

today i'm gonna test

 

[stilson]

Nexen Roadian AT Pro on my foz stick like **** to a blanket in the wet, can't wait to see what they're like offroad.

 

[Rammster]

this is the result

 

[Robbks]

The Nexen's look like an older Bridgestone AT pattern...

Forester 2015

What is the largest /widest tires i could fit on my 2015 forester 2.5 Automatic? Also any newer tires that are made now that are a good combination for mud rain snow and highway. Thanks very much if someone could recommend. :ebiggrin:

Dont know what sizes fit a MY15 Foz but can recommend Yoki Geolander ATs as an excellent compromise for snow, dirt, even light mud & clay as well as good onroad both wet and dry.

By comparison, near new Bridgestone HTs had less grip on wet sealed roads than the Geolander ATs!!

Hi guys,

Amateur question - I'm chasing 13" 4wd tyre options for my L-Series, want to keep the original wheels on it. I found these below tyres but they are more Rally sport tyres, what's the pros and cons of these for general 4WD work or are they totally unsuitable?

Thanks

Can't speak from experience with that tyre but I'd say you'd need to find out about the compound used - how hard or soft. Ratings are published in the US for tyres and may be coded on the sidewall. Softer compounds to state the obvious give better grip at the expense of life, and a tyre intended for racing may be soft.
