they should measure up as roughly 31x9.25" so they should fit, might need some minor arch bashing with a hammer maybe?

hell yea arch bashing sounds good to me although it may go through due to rust lol ive been meaning to learn to weld anyway. Would that be a good choice to go for then in that size or am i best using another size or a 15" wheel?
Need something fairly soon as the 215 goodyears look very lost indeed

Well went for the 265/75 16 malatesta kobra trac nts in the end, hope they wiill go well but at £70 a tyre i wont be dissapointed lol
I take it i will be needing wheel spacers to stop her going over now? Maybe even wider offset wheels?

yeah you probably will need spacing out somehow. I would probably get spacers to start and look at the offset rims later
(i.e wait for a decent set to show up on ebay

)
withought spacing the tyres will probably hit the springs on full lock
