Another tyre ?
Does anyone know what the biggest tyre size you can get away with on a Puma without having to lift it ?

Was thinking of getting some 18" boosts, but am unsure what the biggest tyre size would be...

sorry to quantify, you could probably fit bigger but would limit articulation and possibly need to trim arches. Cheers

So a 33x12.50 would fit ? I had 35x12.50's on my Jeep TJ that had a 4-1/2" suspension lift, but i dont plan on doing any crazy suspension mods to the 110...

a 33" x 10 would. i am not sure if the extra 2.5" width would catch under compression on arches without trimming.

255.85R16s seem to work well less the wrong size rim for you. Cheers

265/75/16 BFG AT's with spacers on at the moment, but was just looking for that bit extra height and width

Cheers
