Largest Functional Tire Without Mods

[TradChap]

I WILL find a way to fit 35's without trimming haha

I really don't like the idea of carving out parts of the wheel well, if trimming is indeed required with no possible way around it (which I doubt) then I guess I'll stick with 33's.

Didn’t you see the thread with the portals

Already know a company ready for this, where 37-38" tires would be standard and no need for re-gearing...


For me, I'm looking to first go with 285/75/17 (33.9"-34.1"dia); https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/285-75R17.htm

For mine initially, it'll be for remote "overland" travel; getting as far out as possible.
Airing down tires significantly for washboard gravel, turtleheads, larger rocks, snow....thus, the desire for a larger diameter tire with more sidewall for an elongated footprint when aired down (plus it looks pretty cool too).

For some friends/clients who want portals, it'd be a toy rig, used for serious offroad, mudwheeling and snowwheeling.


What tire size are you thinking about for your travels? I assume you'll encounter quite a bit of sand?

I'll be going 285/70/17 from day one. Won't go any bigger until there are some decent suspension lift options

Lots of excellent tires available in this size (~32.7"dia)! https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/285-70R17.htm

Were there any other modifications done on this vehicle?

I saw the guys who modify this and put it on Facebook. This absolutely looks amazing with the Duratrac’s. The photos also moved me to change from Inky Black to Donny Grey.

Buzz Special Vehicles are the guys. They have a Facebook profile and have posted a video of them scanning the Grenadier. I think the video mentions the wheel size and offset but may have dreamt that and if so sorry!

Looks like you can specify offset and pcd to suit your application with the Braid Motorsport wheels. Dial in the perfect fitment.

[grenadierboy]

They do look nice but also look so much bigger the the BFG's - Hard to believe only 1" extra diameter + 20mm width
