crwoody Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The only issue that I have with oversize tyres is the need to use wheels with a bigger offset, or add spacers to the standard ones to maintain the turning circle, either way this has the effect of putting a fair bit of extra side force on the wheel bearings (even with normal driving) and shortening their life. You also end up with the outer edge of the tyre showing beyond the wheel arch (potential MOT failure!) and the sides of your motor get extra muddy. (Good / bad? depends on your view!)

SteveG Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 what size tyres are you planning to put on those 35" wheels?? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 As has been said, it's totally down to your right foot, you'll have to be a bit careful with 35's, and going any bigger would be a real strain on things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 what size tyres are you planning to put on those 35" wheels?? :P I wondered that too... I'd go for some really low profile ones myself, go for the cart wheel look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiveLife Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 How do the Ocelandic guys manage with their 38's and what mods do they need to do. Way past this what's needed over here i guess but just curious.

Way past this what's needed over here i guess but just curious. They either spend piles of cash on fancy axle bits, or they swap for beefier axles. Bear in mind they're only driving about on snow, so it's less stressful than tearing about in the mud / rocks / climbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crwoody Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Saw some of the Icelandic trucks at Billing the other year, superb looking beasts, pity I didn't think to take a look underneath though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow90 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 My thoughts to not that is what I call Bling. i donr agree with that, challenge trucks struggle without them, takes alot to follow behind with 32, trust me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
