Stupid Tyre Question

Post by r-nottz » Sun Aug 28, 2016 9:15 pm

Ok guys.

I've acquired a set of 16" oz Suzuki alloys.

I'm planning on wacking them on the spare vitara that I'm going to use for general plodding about green lanes in

I'm just wondering what size tyre will be the best? I'm lifting the truck 2" so there will be some more clearance than usual, I dont want massive tyres but obviously bigger than standard.


Cheers.

Yeah I'm fine with 15" size wheels mate as that's all I've ever ran on my vitaras but the set I just purchased are 16" I was wondering what size tyre in 16" is near the same as 31s in 15" if that makes sense?
