Kwji, oh my god, AWESOME.

Dont waste ya money on the road mate get a road set. IF they are like my MTZ's, outer lugs on front left will wear quick smart, the rears with your power will go noticeably too.

Did I say these look AWESOME.

Need some photo's with them fitted real quick, and the rim size.
Thinking about centipeads in that size as we do more rock work down here than mud.

I've got a chubby just looking at them, awesome

ok so the rims are 16x8 with a zero offset (would have preferred positive but zero was the closest :( )
just means more cutting is needed than normally necessary :roll:
they are Mickey Thompson Sidebiter alloys... and with the claws on them they are lighter then the 32" with steel rims :o

there is some rubbing, but only at one point... but will fix that up today ;)
the real test will be when she goes bush... really hope it works out cause the rims are wicked :roll:

few photos as promised...

look very tuff. hope the cops don't give you any hassle - they stick out a long way. they will help protect your sills and sides of car in deep ruts. but they will throw heaps of crap over your car.

can't wait to see how they perform. 8-)

i have trained my boys up to help me and i can swap the set over in about 30-40 minutes.

but not the spare. it takes about 15 minutes by its self. i just leave the 32 on as spare now.

I ran a set of these in a 33" on my last 4by Kyle. Enjoy them as they are fun and just get your pressures right as they do wear quickly on the outer edge if to much air is used :roll: .

Flex shots are needed now to see rub points :(
