Mc071963 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Hi, I'm thinking of changing to BF Goodrich Mud Terrain 285/75 R16 and then using these rims. https://www.tyresdirectuk.co.uk/product/16x8-black-challenger-5x165-1-et-35-copy/ anybody got any experiances of this combination ? My Defender already has 2" lift on Super Gaz shockers Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Same tyres on modulars. I really like them and would have to be pushed to change. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mc071963 Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 That looks really neat ..... no spaces or other changes to make them clear everything ?? Cheers Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Slight lift mainly due to the winch but it did rub occasionally on the back before. Steering lock stops need adjusting to stop the tyres rubbing the radius arms. I don't know what offset the challenger wheels are but the modular (16x8) stick out father than standard wheels.

L90-v8 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 not sure of the lift the springs are rrc red and whites but the rims are challenger and the tyres are 285/75 /16 km2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L90-v8 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I had modulars on before with the same tyres the challengers I got have more off set so I was able to get some decent steering lock back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If they really have a 35 mm offset, I would expect the tyres to hit the spring perches. With a more normal 10 to 15 mm offset, they will be fine. The tyre is about as big as you can go without trimming the arches. Spring lifts don't change the tyre clearance.

Boris113 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The website says they have a neg 35 offset so they would be quite a way outboard. A friend fitted the same set to his 90 and they definitely stick out more than my 0 offset wheels with 285 tyres. I have 285 75 r16s on modulars with a neg 32 offset and despite a 2 inch lift, the arches still needed trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
