carlosbeldia Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Good day. I'm looking for 235/85, but have found that for a few additional bucks I can have a 255/85.... can I put this in my car with no restiction in an standar rim (5.5)? I don't want to modify anything..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I'm not sure what it would be like. My 255's are on Wolf wheels which IIRC are 6.5". I think going by the book, the 5.5 would be too narrow. But I could be wrong! HTH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi Ross. Do you have any picture of your car? what kind of suspension you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Hi Carlos The suspension is all genuine springs (Lets hope I remember this correctly!!! Colours are correct...) Yellow/Green HD 90 rears on the front, and REd/Blue 130HD fronts on the rear. I think its +5" procomp shocks with dropped mounts.

carlosbeldia Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Beautiful car, what brand are those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Thank You Carlos! Most is a credit to the previous owner... I've only done little tweaks! Top picture is pretty much how it is now, second one is when the old owner had her. Tyres are BFGoodrich KM Mud terrains 255/85R16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 It's a shame here in Colombia we can't have those KM2..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 You only get the KM2 out there? its that way here now. Only the KM2 is available at most places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbeldia Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 No, here we have the old version, made in Brazil or Peru, don't remember.... they are really expensive here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to modify anything..... minimum recommend wheel width for a 255 is 6.5 inches, on a 5.5 the tyre will be very 'pinched' in at the beads seat.
