The 285's will look awesome. Looking forward to seeing the pics then.
I will move up to 265/65R17 when the time comes. Pretty much same diameter as I have now, but just the extra width. Just eyeballing it, I think I should have about 11mm now between the tyres edge and the guard edge. I will measure it one day. I will probably hold off until I finally find a factory bull bar for it.
When I was looking to buy this car, I saw a V8 that had a bullbar with the light hoops cut off. Just the bare base of the bar. Looked good so that is what I want to do. Just need to find someone who is willing to sell me a bar cheap cheap cheap. All in good time.
The other advantage is wheel clearance. Even with these tyres I had to tie the inner wheel guard cover back as it was scrubbing on the tyre when I turned right. 265's would only make that worse, but the bullbar is the answer there.
