    So the "MAG" or "rim" then? Wouldn't I need larger rubber tires to fit over a larger rim though? :)

    I know I need tires by next service but I was also considering a small lift, but if bigger rims/tires can get me a small lift then that seems cheaper?

    I'm not supposed to be driving on my tires now hehe. I obviously have one of the fronts out of alignment as the inside is work out.

    Several problems... A larger tire and wheel setup might rub the frame or wheel well, especially when turning and going over bumps/rough terrain... That's why trucks are usually lifted when big tires and wheels are installed. Also Lifted trucks with the big tires handle like crap.

    You can probably go with a little bit larger tire on your existing wheels without much problem

    I've been told I could do 20" at least but I see what you're saying which is why I haven't done anything yet I just know with new tyres coming up I should probably look into something more productive. :)

    I might startooking into tyre and wheel packages. I'm think BF Goodrich cause I like the chucky style. Looks tough.

    I'm just running stock all terrain tyres at the moment but yes that's exactly what I want. Some big dirty ass tread. :D

    Worthless tires for road use and they would only last about a year... Stupid, stupid tires.

    Yeah I guess I'm looking for all terrain but a bit chunkier. The picture you posted Ty seems good. I guess I'm definitely on the road more often in terms of miles driven.

    Be cool if I could just Memphis Belle my own wheels on her. :p

    I don't know what I was thinking but, during winter sometimes if I'm too lazy to go the garage to put away drinks in the outside fridge, I just leave them under the pergola because honestly they get colder outside in winter. Which is all good and great, right? Except this time I decided to do it in middle summer. :sweatsmile: and now my 6 pack o' Jim Beamies is all warm. :tearsofjoy: but won't let that spoil my morning. Having a hot bath it tastes cold again hehe.

    I need to get out of here for a bit.
    My friend was going to drive down and get me tomorrow, but things have gotten in the way and it has to be Wednesday. It feels like a bigger setback than it should.

    I suggest kevlar toes. Your toes don't get cold in them like steel caps. :tongueclosed:
