285/75 R16 questions.

[Sprey]

Just to bump up the thread.

Im due for new tires, come down to either 265/75/16, 275/75/16 or 285/75/16.

Im running a 16x8 0 offset wheel and a 2.5 lift, (ome912) tb crank and front bj flip.

Is it possible to run the 275/16/75 or 285/75/16 on the 0 offset wheel. without modding the wheel wells or alot of trimming ?

I know ill have to do some trimming how much would need to be done?.

So far im leaning towards to the 265/75/16s.

Cheers guys

Ignore what i wrote above please if you can answer do so . ive decided to go with the 265/75/16s. For a better price than the larger tyres and the ease of fitting them versus the 285 75s.

You can see from my gallery trimming wasn't really that bad, and it is only noticable on the car if you know what you are looking for.

when having to "trim".. what tool are you guys using..
looks like some rough edges in some pics..
any advice to reduce the rough look?

Haggis,

When I trimmed my cladding for my tires I used a Dremmel tool with a cut off wheel attached to it. After the initial cut I used some sandpaper to smooth out and ease the edges for a "stock" look. If you didn't know it, you would never know that the cladding has been trimmed.

Ended up using a air hacksaw thing. did the job was ease on the front now just have to do the back bits of the wells.
