Hi
Replacing split-rims on 4.2 diesel GQ. Without extending guards I have been told I can put on (obviously new wheels) 235/85/R16. A mate has told me that this isn't a good option and I should extend guards and get 6-8" rims. If I do trips like Birdsville Track, Simpson etc are skinnies OK? Anybody got first hand experience running this size in this type of country?
Secondly, any comments on tyres for this country driving on 235s? Regardless of size I'm thinking BFG or Cooper. Maybe Pirelli or Michelin if available???? Most likely All Terrain type tread patterns.
Really need help setting my mind.
