ok
i've been watching this thread and the 18s down to 16s thread too.
and nates buildup thread...fek amazing car!!
so i still have the factory 16" steelies and 3 spares. I sold five spares to Roachie on lcool.org. Thanks Bill if you are reading this!
i love Nates build. But having read the 18 to 16 thread....i'm now "educated" i think.
i was considering these
Pro Comp - Australia - Series 7047
they are 18x9. I got a quote for a Mickey Thompson tyre for that rim...305x70 ...and it was $600+......fek!!!
i am currently running 265x75x16 KM2s and they are great, except for the 265 part.
i am keen on an alloy as the steelies weigh an absolute ton! but...do i do a forged alloy? Are they avaialble ?? (i know there's a 20" Tundra forged alloy, but it's not what i want! and they are a $5k ish option)
so advice from you guys is welcomed....i do a lot of logging tracks, there is mud there...i've had to winch out twice when i was wheeling by myself...so mud,
a lot of sand based tracks....and of course highway. Ratio? 70% road, 30% offroad. But i want the KM2 style of tyres or the Nitto Grapplers i saw on here too.
Anyone that knows of a Nitto dealer in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, especially eastern suburbs, please contact me
peter.moore350@gmail.com yes woody i'll get the silver star happening soon.
