Thunderer MT R408 a 285/70/17- King Rims steel 17/8/ -13

Thunderer is the brand not the incorrect spelling in the thread title.

Picked up the Thunderer MT R408 tyres x 5.
Was recommended these by a friend that ownes a Bridgestone outlet.
Did some looking on line to only find minimal information, but all good information.
Anyways I fitted them and they look the part.
I know a 16" rim and tyres are the go in a 305, but these don't come in that size and the budget wasn't going to allow me to get them.

I went for the 285/70/17 on 17/8 rims with a neg13 offset.
They sit nice and to the edge of the guards.
No lift yet so they fill the guards nicely, will see how the end result with the 2" lift is in a couple of months.

No spacer is needed for the rear door, fits like the factory assembly.

Yet to drive on them, when going out the drive the left front mud flop was half ripped off.
Sorting this out now and will follow up later with a dive result on the black top, heading to Gembrook next Sunday and will report back.
Hope the photos are okay.
