32" tyres

[makeitfit]

Hi guys I've modified my wish list to 32 x 12.5 x 15s or 16s instead of the 33" I was lusting over.
Can you advise any pros and cons on the wheel size ie 15s or 16s
Been looking at Goodridge a/t instead of full muds as my Insa Turbo's are wearing down fast, but thats using them all the time.
Will be running them with 30mm spacers and plenty of body room thanks to my hammer and jigsaw. 8)

No real difference between 15" and 16" though I think with spacers you're going to need some seriously big arches to get 12.5" wide tyres under, you'd be better off with 11.5s or 10.5s I'd have thought.

235/85/16 (31.7") defender tyres (110 standard fit) would probably do the job nicely and not cause as many clearance issues with em being narrower or what I've got 265/75/16 (again common on defenders as an upgrade) same height but a little wider. Relatively cheap and plentiful in those sizes too.

I was being a little greedy I guess at 12.5
What pressures do you reckon on the 265/75/16s
Never really sussed that on mine

hi makeitfit

i have some old 32 11.5 15 tyres on steel rims similar offset to yours... your welcome to try these on before you spend loads of cash....
no need to buy just see if they fit and look good etc

Seems like a plan worthy of a tail on it 8)
I'm leaning toward 15" rims anyway as I already have a selection.
Could be Swansea way next weekend. I'll give you a shout
