Hi all,
New to the forum and have recently ordered a 150 2.8 gxl. While waiting for delivery I have been looking at aftermarket wheels/tyres. Basically I have pretty much narrowed it down to a Dick Cepek Torque/BFG KO2 combo but am still unsure on correct sizing.
Ideally I would like the 16x8 wheels with 285/75 tyres as it works out cheaper and I like the larger profile of the tyres but am unsure of the clearance between the wheel and front brakes and if the overall dimensions of the tyre will fit with out bumping/rubbing.
Option two is 17x8.5 wheels with 285x70 tyres. Once again unsure how the tyres go in regards to clearance.
Both of these packages give around the same overall diameter of 32.8/32.7" and the car will have a 2" lift. Open to suggestions regarding tyre size to achieve the same overall diameter.
Any advice would be appreciated as unfortunately I live in an area that does not have many options and the customer service can be pretty average at times.
Cheers
