How big do you want to go? I had 245 x 75 without doing a thing.

Really? I wouldn't be going that big. What year is your car? On mine it doesn't look like I'll fit that big

Not exactly big but give you idea on space. these are 235 70 R16 there is almost a inch and a half to spare. I reacon you could go up to 31inch with a few mm to spare

How are the generals mate? Was looking at getting a set

Been surprisingly good so far.

Been through thick clay mud which i didn't think they will handle well and did pretty good. On soft sand they have been pretty good too. Quite on the road and grip well in the wet.

I haven't had them for that long so they haven't really had a good test yet. but supposedly meant to last over 100,000k as well.

Small video testing in mud doesnt look like much. The tires slipped a bit but managed to get through it quite well, had a 4x4 going through it with 33's before making nice deep ruts.

Rear tyre carrier fit a 35 without an issue. Doubt the rear bumper would play nice with it though but mine was removed.

Here's mine I made from the original tyre carrier. Can't find any of the actual carrier sorry. That's a 235/85R16 (32") btw.
