Ive put vitara fat boy alloys (10 inches wide) with new 31 10.50 15 tyres on my sj and to be honest it isnt that impressive.

Looking at it i can see that when pumped up the side walls are 12 inches wide but the tread is only 8 inches wide (Mt mud terrain)

So im going to have to sell them even tho they look sweet :cry:

Ive got both types of the standard steel wheels (the round hole ones and the triangle ones) and i was thinking insa turbo special track tyres, anyone know what size i can go for without having the same prob? It would be nice to keep it 30-31 inch high on the tyre, Thx

Looking at this on standard 15x5.5" SJ rims max tyres is a 215/75.

30" tyres ideally need a 6.5" rim i think. The 31s should be on an 8" rim but smaller is possible.

10" wheels are far too wide for 10.5" wide tyres.

The minimum width tyre I would run on 10" wheels is 12.5" I used to run 11.5" wide tyres on them and had problems with the tyre popping off the bead.

Nice. I'll have a word with my Dad. I only want the wheels. But he may be interested in the tyres.

Also got a mate looking for tyes for his HiLux.

Are you sure they're 15x10s, they don't look to be sat too bad.

What are the tyres? Brand/tread pattern?

Cheers

Here u can see the tread pattern alittle better

Yea they are 15x10 they had 265 road tyres on (which i still have and cost me just over £200) then i bought the king pin tracker mud terrain new which was £350. By the time they were fitted on the rims they stood me in around £600 lol.

Used them maybe 4-5 times which was good but for what we do offroad i would probley rather try and find some insa turbo special tracks on 7-8 inch wide steel rims (which i cant find yet) :cry:
