Hi Chaps Thanks for the replies. I initially bought a 2" lift kit in the form of spacers under the springs & shockdroppers. It wasnt until I fitted these that I realised the springs were real tired and it still did not give me much of a lift! I have since purchased some +2" springs and shockers to match, which I am fitting shortly. If I find that it looks daft with both, I will simply remove the spacers under the springs. I am not overly bothered whether or not they look "beefy" enough. I just want a decent tyre which is good value for money (Insa Turbo) to fit my OEM 16" Rangie alloys, that will fit with minor modification. I am only just getting into the game, will be trailering it to KORC every other month for a bit of fun. I'll never be doing comps or anything like that. cheers Craig

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
