Any idea if this size tyre will rub with a 70mm drop?Hi have BFG 235/65/17 with 35mm drop on KW v3s no problems
It’s highly likely it will touch . That tyre is 10 mm bigger in diameter than the dreaded 275 40 20 and they touch all over at. 50 mm drops , the wheel offset plays a part here too , that will determine if it touches on the outside or the inside .ha hanAny idea if this size tyre will rub with a 70mm drop?
Are your current tyres 235/55 r17? If so, then the 225/65 r17 will be 4.6% bigger and will fit no issues - your speedo should also read correctly if it's the normal 67mph at 70mph under reading.With a set of 17” Davenport’s could I fit a set of BFG 225/65/17’s without any lift/modification?
Would 235/65/17 or 245/65/17’s fit on the same rims and again without a lift/modification?
Mine is a T6.1 Caravelle on 18” VW alloys but not sure if I can get any 18” BFG’s to fit them - was considering the 17” Davenport’s as the wheels are cheap but look ok.Are your current tyres 235/55 r17?

There are 235/65 BF Goodrich K02's but they're not speed rated. 245/65 should fit on std suspension but your speedo will under read by a few mph. They're much bigger than std.
And if your wheels are 7j then the tyre will be a bit bigger due to the narrower rim, most AT wheels are 8 or 8.5j.
I've got a caravelle with 30mm lower springs so will be going for 225/65 r17 BFG's at some point in the next few months, on a set of OZ rally raids.
Is it an executive? If so it'll be 20mm lower than std.Mine is a T6.1 Caravelle on 18” VW alloys but not sure if I can get any 18” BFG’s to fit them - was considering the 17” Davenport’s as the wheels are cheap but look ok.
Any suggestions would be welcome as the current Bridgestone tyres are neither any good in the dry or the wet and only last 8k!
Yes it’s the Executive and currently running 255/45/18 which is what we’re on from newThanks for that looks like some 17 steels coming up soon
Beautiful! what size tyres are these? I'm also thinking of running CC2 of AT rimsView attachment 159741
Now running H&R coilovers and H&R anti roll bars Michelin crossclimate plus suv 2 tyres
Just put tomahawk kato on our t6.1 velle exec with wildpeak 235/65/17.Mine is a T6.1 Caravelle on 18” VW alloys but not sure if I can get any 18” BFG’s to fit them - was considering the 17” Davenport’s as the wheels are cheap but look ok.

Pfff love my Kato’s.Just put tomahawk kato on our t6.1 velle exec with wildpeak 235/65/17.
Clearance for door card is literally mm but they fit no problem
Wasn't aware they'd cracked the ECU on the 6.1s, so remapping may be problematic.Don’t judge as she’s dirty
Still on the to do list,
Bumper and or splitter / chin
Black grill
Reckon dechrome sides
Side bars
Remap ecu / dsg
Picture for info on door card gap more luck than judgement

Got ya!Fortunately mines an early 2020 with sport mode on the dsg still so far as i can tell its still on delphi ecu not bosch
Don’t know what it is with the Kato’s but I think they are the best 17” wheel out there.
