Hi guys, long time reader here, I've been searching and searching and just cannot find the answer to this,

i have a 2009 dx ute, no flares at all on arches, currently has 235 85 16,s on it, want to run something bigger, I'm looking for a point in right direction, id rather not add any EPDM (rubber) flares to arches so wondering what my options would be with offsets and tyres

I've seen some 0 offset running 265 75 16 going cheap would this be an option ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi mate might want to pop over and do an intro first.
Just something the forum asks of us all.
what do you use your 4x4 for??
265s are about a 32"

No real reason apart from just liking how she looks as is so was wondering if its possible at all ?

really limiting your choices, a 285 or 33 x 12.5R would be my choice even a 305.
these aired down would give you a nice big footprint for sand driving
