31x10.5 on 7" +10 rims stuck out by about 3cm. -15s would see the tyre sticking out by about 5.5cm!

According to the tyre shop I'm using the Gecko wheels are the go. The 15x8 only clear the front callipers if a P30 is used (no way will that fit under the existing flares given the standard rim is a N40!). The 15x7 will fit if a P10 is used ... and I'm told that this will fit a 31x10.5 within...

Correction: section 4.2.10 of the document below states that off-road vehicles can be fitted with tyres up to 1.5 times the width of the widest original optional tyre ... there's even a table that states that a 205 width tyre can be replaced with up to a 305 tyre! VSB 14: Tyres, Rims...

I've decided to go with new rims ... as you say, the OD of a 235/85R16 is more than 50mm larger than the 205R16 standard on the DX. Seems to me that the best bet is the 265/70R16 as is standard on the 2004+ ST-R. The other option I'm considering is going down to 15x8 rims and running...

Thanks Equipt, I think you're right on the money ... some 245/75R16 tyres are apparently OK on a 6"-wide rim, but the tyre fitters I've spoken too all say 235 is the max and I haven't found any tyre specs that say otherwise.

I'm wanting to fit 31x10.5R15 muddies to my D22. Hoping someone who's been there can provide some info. I understand the range is limited due to the need to clear the front discs. What offset wheels should I be looking for? Is it possible to buy wheels that avoid rubbing while staying within...

Hi all, The standard 205R16 tyres on my 2003 D22 DX need to be replaced. Seems a good time to consider going up in size. I've been thinking about 245/75R16 or 31x10.5R15 ... both of which are less than 50mm larger in diameter than the 205R16, so I understand they're both legal options here in...
