Hi Everyone,
Have been reading the forum for a while but this is my first post, my question is on tire sizes.
I have recently sold a fully equipped Nissan Patrol GU that was running 285/70/17’s BFG Mud Terrains and purchased a 12/2010 GXL Prado. I have the Prado booked in at ARB later this month to have OME Suspension, IPF Lights, Deluxe Winch Bar (color coded), GME UHF, Duel Battery System and Snorkel fitted.
(I will add photo’s in the build up section in due time.)
My question is on what tires to fit, I can get 275/65/17’s fairly quickly but don’t know if these will look too small with the OME Suspension (2” lift), but am hesitant to get 285/70/17’s.
Although I was doing a reasonable amount of off road work in my Patrol I am unsure how much I will be doing in the Prado, although I have decided on BFG All Terrains for the Prado I still want the clearance and the off road ability if needed.
I guess my question is 275 or 285’s?
Will 275’s look too small, will 285’s be too big, are there any forum members running 285’s on a 150 series that could provide some advice?
Thanks
Dan
