Cheers Bruggz, the wife wasn't sure at first but I like it, it is a bit of toss up which I prefer, the 16's with 30's (245/70/16's) or the 15" grizzlies with 31's...

Cheers Tezza, so now I have 1 vote for the 15's and 1 for the grizzlies....

Normally as you know clearance is an issue, 225/75's are fine but 235/75's rub, 30x9.50-15's are fine and usually 31x10.50-15's are no chance (like the ones pictured) BUT the 31's on the black wreck are labelled as 31x10.50-15's (not pictured) but they are around 20mm narrower and tuck right up inside the wheel arches just nicely, they do rub slightly bu a 3mm spacer would probably fix it.
I am thinking of keeping these 31's for maybe the Cape next year but we will see, only trouble is the grizzlies won't fit the trailer but it is also an issue with tyre width so I might try some bolt on spacers to allow 31's on it as well on grizzlies, after all I have 11 of them at the moment....

I haven't tried flexing the car on the 16's yet but they are H/T's anyway so not much point really as they will be road use only...

Had the same problem JJ and got a set of 6mm spacers for the trailer so I could run the same size on it.
Cheers Tezza
