gday all
looking at getting some new tyres and suspension currently running 265/75/16 on a 16x8 rim (about30") and would like to go to 33" tyres
im thinking that 285/75/16 would be a good choice with a 2" lift, its a 98 2.8ltd gu (im new to this) so im wondering if bigger tyres affect smaller engines and how much ? would this tyre be suitable for me ?

any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

cheers brent

Hey. Brent. The larger tyre will suck a little power off the 2.8 but it's probably the most popular touring tyre size. 285/75/16. The car will handle it fine.
