"Carrot wheels , carrot wheels do ye have any nuts?"Definitely photoshopped, no nuts or centre hub on the rear………
I agree, if you run a line from the front wheel to the rear wheel you will see it looks like it is outside of the body by half a wheel width and in your top shot they have just pushed it under the guard more and the mudflap is bent around it.No I don't think it is. It's just a mock up of how they would fit into the wheelarch and thus give an idea of what would need doing to actually run them ~ which we k ow is possible.
I have been a beachgoer most of my life and have had huge tyres which were so much fun on the sand but then had to drive home...the answer is not good but controllable, you have to allow for tyre roll and more breaking distance before all the other issues...regular rotation, balancing, alignment, nose, pressures...in the best of both worlds you would have daily ride tyres plus the 37" obviously on different rims...I am staying with what the Grenadier has trialed on 17" BFG A/T...happy motoringWould the Grenadier really drive properly with 37" tyres?
I have never driven a car with such large tyres and so can't imagine what it would be like to drive around on usual roads.
Go your way, and have fun! That sums it up but be careful...respect choice and happy motoringI like the Southafrica-Videos with the 35´´ tyres, I love the new Namibia-Videos from INEOS with the 35´´ tyres. But I also heard that it wasn´t easy to put them under the car...
Have you allready seen the Youtube-Video of a new Defender Oneten on 37´´ tyres - and the car is still rolling...!? Great show!
In Germany I´m sure we would get TÜV-problems with that - perhaps we can use up to 295-70-17 or 315-70-17. I will see.
My own Toyota HZJ75 once had 255-100-16 XCL ("9.0"), they were very bad to drive - now with 285-75-16 BF Goodrich AT it is perfect.
Driving with big tyres makes some things better, and others worse... sense oder nonsens - who matters? Go your way, an have fun!
Hi, in another thread I posted some pics of 33 inch shown on a grenadier. Was some first try so nothing official yet. Aftermarket provider was confident such kind of wheels should be possible without too much of modifications.I think BG KO2s 285/70/17 will look better than the 265/70/17, especially for a truck of this size. I had the BG KO2's 285/70/17 ("33 inch") on both my Bronco and Jeep Rubicon both of which were 2 doors. It's a good size without going full "35 inch" and worrying about lifting, rubbing, etc.
But I have not seen it in person yet so just speculating based on pictures.
I think 33s are a perfect size for this truck, but I have no desire to modify things to make them fit. At least not now.
I would not be surprised, however, if IA offers a larger tire setup from the factory in certain markets. I can only speak about the East coast USA, but folks like big tires. 33s are stock on lots of Jeep and Bronco models as well as pickups from Ford and GM. On top of that, Ford and Jeep now offer 35s and on some models, 37s from the factory.
