I fitted mine yesterday - Fuel zephyrs - matt black - 8.5J BF Goodrich k02 225/65/17. Moved from Clayton 16” with 205/65/16 on.
Originally going with the 245’s after much reading on here and elsewhere I was a bit concerned. The issue for me would have been the distance between the inner rear arch moulding (see pic) with the 225’s on now - that distance is approx 1””.
The 245’s would have obviously been less and I wasn’t willing to take the risk. If my calculations are correct, it would have been close to touching that inner moulding at the closest point. I have bog standard suspension and obviously the conversion weight is making a difference to mine. I can’t comment on what others may be like, but for me, these are just the subtle faux swamper look I was after.
Regards to Speedo, I’m now about 1 mph over compared to sat nav, so 30 Speedo is 31 mph on sat nav. I can live with that!
After seeing what tyre pressure’s people are running on here I’ve just bumped all four to 45psi, I will have a play around with that as time go’s on. For now they seem fine.
The pro’s for me - bigger and better looking wheel and tyre combo than I had on.
I love the look of these
The grip should be better for camp fields etc (this I’ve not tested yet-but gotta be better than what I had)
There is a slight improvement over potholes and the likes.
They should last quite some time!
negs :
slightly heavier on the steering with these. Anything else time will tell.
