Posted: Sun Apr 17, 2016 21:19 Post subject: Wheel and Tyre Help Advice Please.. |
|
|
Good evening all, not done much on here as I was on fbook but have recently sacked fbook because it has ruined my relationship! not my fault either!.
Right I have a Isuzu Bighorn 1994 and it has had a 2" body lift and at the moment it has 265/75/16 wheels and tyres and they stick out a little as the wheels are Kalahari and they stick out more than normal tyres.
Now I was stopped by the police yesterday and the officer advised me to fit wheel arches or change the wheels as they stick out to much, can I replace these wheels with the same size but dont stick out as much, any ideas would be great thank you, even a place to buy new wheels and tyres..
Many Thanks..

Keep tyres just pick up a standard set of trooper alloys , they should be cheap enough in breakers yard _________________ 96 3.1 bighorn lwb ,widetrack |

You could always fit something like this temporarily:
until you can source some Trooper flared arches like this:

Good tyre choice.
Unfortunately the go to place for selling stuff is on the Trooper Mart group on Facebook. The site just doesn't get the traffic anymore and the classifieds section next to nothing even in the heyday.
Obviously eBlag is another choice.
