Tyres

[baker1988]

Looking at going bigger ALREADY only had mine on for a month and done 170 mile :lol

but my body lift is to be fitted in the next few days and im not entirely happy with 31" tyres

not 100% on what size to go for to fit my t2

33" or 35"

could do with more diff clearance

opinions please

oh yes dont mind modification to fit them and i only really drive on road to pay n play and a few lanes :thumbs

In that case there's no question 35s get your diff out the bog
See my thread on 35s but you will need to do the steering box mod too or the idler will just melt :lol
ALL your balls and bushes WILL get stressed out, so if they have any play now they'll be quivering wrecks in a few weeks off roading on 35s
Big trimming reqd at the front of the sills/footwell. A quick slice with the grinder then weld in a new plate to keep the draft out :augie
Wheel offset is crucial too.
Enjoy :naughty

just bought a polybush kit as the old ones are pretty much ready for a change.
whats the cost of this steering box mod i hear your the man for the job :thumb2
i thought the 31's would be ok for now but not for the pay and plays in my area
dont mind getting the grinder out got to see what my tyres will fetch aswell depending on the tyres i go for.
not sure if i should go for some 16" rims too or not.

Thanks

I prefer 16s as there's more room round the discs and so easier to clean the crap out. However it comes down to tyre choice. You may get a better price 15" tyre than 16 or vise versa.
If you're handy with the angle grinder you can do it yourself. I think it's around 200 quid all in. I'll have to dig out the threads etc :thumbs
