Finally bit the bullet. Got rid of the stock alloys. After much research this is the result.
Rims - CSA Raptors - 16x8 in Pos 25 offset.
Tyres - BF Goodrich KM 2 in 265x75x16

Went with BF,s as I had the BF AT's which were awesome. Never let me down. Switching to MUDs to give them a crack. Went from 31's to 32's. Can't feel much difference to be honest. Slightly firmer ride with a little more noise between 80-90 only.

Should have done this years ago.

Apologise for formatting / topic creation. Tapatalk newby.

I have those rims in 17". Only downside is losing the caps when bogged.

Thanks guys. Very happy with them. Had a chance to feel the weight of the rims before rubber was fitted. Fair bit lighter than the same size Steelies in the shop.

Cheers. Canopy is a custom job by the boys at OT Toolbox's in Melbourne. 1500 long by 1800 wide. The rack is a steel Tradesman Rack from Melbourne. It's supported by the front and rear tray bars. Prevents loads stressing the canopy.
