Hey BNEGXL,
Just checking, im looking to fit some better tyres to a 150 VX,
and your at3's fit, is that with or without any lift or suspension upgrade?
I want to fit MT atz 4 rib - 275/70/18's but fear they will rub
but wont be doing any lift work for a few months
cheers
Geoff
Im not Bogged - I've just lost traction. . . . . and now I'm showing the wife why I bought those Maxtrax, and the tyre deflator, and the compressor, and the bullbar, and the winch, and a lot of other goodies I've hidden in the Prado
Thanks guys, much appreciated, and some piece of mind too!

Those are huge: 847 mm diameter. Will be interesting to see if they fit - the ground clearance would be awesome.
I've just bought a set of 17x8 King Steelies with 0 offset for a new camper trailer build. These are fitted with 285/70/17 Cooper STT's. I decided to experiment and fit them to the 150. I have a 2" lift. Attached are the photos. with "0" offset i have a good 15mm clearance from the UCA. This was not hard against the bump stop but the maximum turn it would sit at without someone holding the wheel down. You know what i mean... Tight clearance at the front of the tyre against the ARB bar. Should be fine. Touching the mud flap. Nothing a few tex screws could fix. I reckon i had 10mm of tread outside the arch.
From this study... My guess is the ET12 or 15 rims would be perfect!!!!
Hi Nath,
The sound of silence is deafening! Must be that nobody has fitted the larger tyres without mods and trouble.
Another thing to consider is weight of the spare on the door. Those hinges are struggling as they are. Bigger LT's weigh more. As soon as you get in corrugations and days of dust the hinges will protest. I have 265/70 BFG and wouldn't want to gear the car up any further. 5th is a tall overdrive, so bigger tyres mean fewer revs for the same road speed. Big tyres are sexy, but do you really need the hassle?
