hi lads
if i wanted the change tyres or tyres and wheels, what can i use
i have a 20 l 52 plated vitara lwb td.
its running on
235/60/16
now i think i have to have 16" rims to clear the break disc caliper etc, but what i am after is a tyre that will be ok on the road 80% and the other 20% will be on the tracks fields and hills nothing to muddy as its just for shooting etc.
so what could i use on the rims i have or what can i get wheel wise so that i can find a tyre with the right tred.
i hope this makes sence.
regards
bob.

Why? He'll have the 7" rims.
bobjs, find the tread you want, then see if you can get it in the size you need. Loads available in 16".
