Help with tyres/ rims

[PaulD22]

I've got a 2008 d22 with a 2 inch suspension lift. Would I be able to fit 285s without doing a body lift? Id like to go a bigger tyre than the factory 265. Also if anyone knows their offsets, I'd like to have 15" rims if possible. Thanks in advance

I don't think the factory tyers are 265, but I could be wrong, most people upgrade to 265/75/16. You could probably fit 285's with just a 2" lift if you have no problem taking to your guards with an angle grinder and a sledge hammer.

My roadies are 265s, i just assumed they were factory. Yeah I'm not too keen on cutting the car to pieces to be honest, and I don't think I can go a crazy offset either coz when the rear flexes up, the tyres will hit the rear flares

Yep your right Paul factory is 265/70r16

Paul if you want ground clearance and don't want to massage and cut up the guards try 255/85r16

check out the 33" tyre bible thread, lots of work involved to fit a 33" tyre.

Yeah I want more clearance but
I don't want cheese cutters either, basically i wanna know the biggest size tyre I can fit and the offset needed for it

 

[PaulD22]

Thanks 180 I'll check it out

a guy in that thread put 33's on the standard STR wheels with a 2inch lift and a bit of cutting he said they fit with no scrubbing.

I think I'll just stick to 32s, I'm not keen on cutting or hammering anything

I still scrub with 32s and mudflap removal and slight panel work, aka bashing.

if you want 15s.. take a look at 32x11.5 r15 tyres on a 0 offset rim, should be good with a 2" lift...
edit: whoops, just saw the post above, + a body lift might be the way to go

Or 265s then
