fitting bigger tyres

[mk1joe]

Hi,
A bit of a boring question but,
What tires should i fit on my anus? its had an add a leaf kit so the standard size looks a little too small. I have been looking into it but the tires seem to be sized differently to normal cars, i am use't to the 3number code but the off road ones are in inches? i want to put them on the standard rims aswell so what would be an appropriate size so they dont catch on the arches or mess up the gearing to much, and is there anything else to take into consideration?

Also i was wondering how the springs will act over time, ive been using the add a leaf for about three months now so should they have settled? and what is the chance of them sagging in future.

Thanks for all the answers
Joe

I'd say you should be good for something around 30" in diameter with just add a leafs.

I've got 235x80r15s Kumho KL71s on mine. They measure up to about 30"

I've got add a leaf and 1" lift shackles.

There was quite a bit of space in the arches when I just put the add a leaf on.
Now that the springs have settled/flattened a bit there isn't so much room!
I do drive it pretty hard though so your springs may not flatten as quickly as mine!

I'd say, get 30s... then if your add a leaves flatten just add some shackles to give you the room you need! Just don't go over 1" lift on the shackles
