Hi Guys,

I'm wanting to fit bigger chunkier tyres on my factory 16" alloys on my stock GV.

It's currently got 225/70/16s on it, does anyone know how big I can go? I Plan on installing a 2" lift kit soon too

Cheers!

Kris

Thanks for your reply

Wow i didn't think that size would fit my factory alloys (will it scrub)?

Will these fit without dramas?

Will my local tyre shop fit them for me? (Is it legal)

Thanks for your help!

245's aren't legal and I reckon they'll scrub a little. They can be made to fit though.

The lift kit will assist in clearance due to reduced wheel travel caused by the stiffer springs.
