Sorry Martyn, didn't see this earlier - I've got Mach 5s with 285s and they're fine (they stick out by maybe 5mm, but nothing illegal!) Peter

Does anybody know if these wheels are still available? I've searched both Outback and Staun but I can find anything!

Is there anything similar if not? I really like the look of them. Thumbs Up

Hey,

Thanks guys for the info.

Ericvv: I had a look at the importer but as I thought well out of my price range.


Sailingtom: Good spot, cheers. I keep an eye on them. Not sure how I could pick them up though. Back to work for 4 weeks today!!! typical

Not sure why you can't PM me though mmmm

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I went with the 265's in the end. More than pleased with them and they seem to align with arch extensions. Although, I am getting mud right up the doors!!!

Here's what they look like:

Keith, that's a beauty Thumbs Up Some more pictures of this truck taken from different angles? Checked your gallery, but only found these two. By the way, what are those 3 white dots on the cover of your rear view mirror?

Sawtooths with 265*75R16 BFG have added a Dirt D Fenders to both sides to stop so much dirt getting up sides of vehicle

This combination sits nicely within arches and size of tyres keeps speedo reading within +/- permitted reading I do my thing and you do yours. I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, and you are not in this world to live up to mine

On Kens' recommendation fitted a set of Duratracs....First impressions they are first class, very good road manners and low noise for a "mud" tyre.

265/75 on Wolf Rims.....don't tell the wheel police !!!
