285's on 8" zero offset silversports, the tread is covered just by the wheel arches, but they really throw the muck, dirt, road tar etc up the bodywork.

Gearing etc is spot on though, slightly higher than std, speedo spot on, milometer, not checked.

Thanks for the replies and help all. I have decided to go for 285-75/16's on some 0 offset mods as these seem widely available in lots of different 'Brands' and seem like the perfect option for me without having to fit spacers and not having to bolt on extra wide arches.

Regards

Adam

Thanks Mal,

I haven't got front flaps on, must get round to that, but at the back (on my 110), the muck seems to find its way between the bottom of the spat and the top of the mud flap, I've been looking for some mud flap type material (without going to the extreme of cutting truck flaps down) to make some new slightly wider ones, the rally blanks from Demon Tweeks and the like don't seem to be big enough.

Might be useful to someone who wants to compare different wheel/tyre/offset sizes:
