Bigger tyres for standard rims

Post#1 » Sun Apr 26, 2009 3:09 pm

Has anyone encountered any problems after fitting 285 18 60 tyres to the standard 7.5 inch G500 alloy rims?

We call them 285/65/18 here

But anyway, that should be the largest size that you can get on the car.

Thanks. I made a mistake with the tire size...we call them that (285/65/18) up here as well. Apart from fitting larger 285's to the standard 18/7.5 inch rims, would you have any other suggestions that may be better...without doing major recalibrations and/or modifications. Would it perhaps be more beneficial to go to a 16/8.5 inch rim (if available) and a larger profile tire?
