Se7enUp Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Poser, the tyres are the wrong way round. white lettering is for sissy's not hard rufty tufty off roaders. I did think that when I picked it up - but it was too late by then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm sure that BogMonster will be on your side, he likes white lettered tyres to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSG Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 BFG MTs are becoming available again - I bought a set of 5 from them at Billing - 265/75 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I just got brand new ones locally just had to wait 2days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Se7enUp Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 I ended up with 2 from "up-north" and 2 from "down-south". Apparently BFG are working flat out to supply the "home" (USA) market at the moment. Once this is done, supplies to the UK should return to normal.

Wave Mountain Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Se7enUp. Did you have to adjust the lock to lock end stops on the front axle to stop the tyres rubbing on the trailing arms, or did you put wheel spacers on. I have the same wheels as you and 255's and now have a very large radius turning circle/reduced lock because of them. I don't want to put spacers on as they knacker the wheel bearings. Any thoughts on this WESTERN ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Well, knacker your wheel bearings or not, the only way to move your wheel out is either with spacers or a different offset wheel. Both have the same effect on the wheel bearing load, in practice though this is not really a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts on this WESTERN ? I run 255/85 MT's, just tweaked the lock stops so tyre inner shoulder doesn't rub on full lock, IIRC mine has 20mm clearance, haven't had any problem with steering lock while driving. you just adapt to what is available without thinking about it. Not a great fan of wheel spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wave Mountain Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Thanks Western. As i thought. Just a choice of adapting to what is available. I'm not a fan of spacers either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
