255/85R16 on my Clubcab

Postby Zantus on Sat Nov 13, 2010 8:31 pm

I tried on some Maxxis Bighorns yesterday. These are 255/85R16, true size of 33.3", on +46mm Pajero 16X7J alloys. They barely touch under serious compression and with the wheel turned about 30%. Pretty amazing that these tyres fit and my suspension is still 100% standard and no bodylift. These have a slightly larger diameter than the 285/75R16 tyres I tried on a while back and this is probably the absolute limit in diameter for a Triton without a bodylift.

Excuse the poor quality of the cellphone pic.

Would they fit better with the triton (+38) offset

or maybe even better with +20 or +30

I've got a +38 rim without a tyre and a 6th Bighorn, so I will put it on sometime and see how it compares to the +46mm rim.
