Nice wheels.

Do they rub on the strut?

Mine only has about 1/2" gap.

245 might work but anything larger would.

How's the ride.

I would like to go up to 245 / 75r16.

Just remember the load rating needs to be high. The conti stock tyres are 120! Minimum us 116 on the rear.

Cheers James

No rub as such, but still might put the spacer in if I can be arsed.
Tyre noise isn't an issue , it's a campervan so worse than that going on.
Tyres are 225/75/16 on black rhino Havasu.

With the promise of no rub


It does.

After saying I wouldn't, I suspect I'm going to be replacing rims now. Running 18s for the duration seems like it'll be more hassle than it's worth.

Edit: just realised I've missed a page of posts. I'm now caught up. :lol:
