Other info:

currently:
tires are Hankook 265/70R16 RT03 MT.
Wheels Dynamic 16"x8" ET+20

but changing as illegal and wrong offset.

WARNING Hankook RT03 265/70R16 RT03 MT 110Q (great mud tire but incorrect load rating for MQ.) Min load rating required 111.

Will be changing to:
Hankook 245/75R16 116Q
16x7 ET30 or ET28 as this correct offset and size.

(Not interested in big lift or bigger tires, want to maintain hanling with min body roll while gaining max legal hieight as to not void insurance and attract defects.)

Key is tire preasures over bigger tires. Wider tires not always better, high lifts and big tires cause more probs in long term.

Original set up (organised by dumb tire guy) placed wheels 8mm outside fenders, underload rated and positive 14mm scrub radius which has adverse affects on handling and ABS braking.
U need to maintain as close to factory offset (acounting for backspacing and tire size)... therefore dropping to a 7" wide rim and 28-30 pos offset put everything inside fender and maintains scrub radius to same or within 4mm.

This size rim and offset will work upto 265/75R16 tire.
