hey everyone, am getting my 2inch suspension lift done on wednesday and am now thinking of tyres. I am going to keep my road tyres as they have about 80% tread left on them and want to get new tyres and rims for fourbying. I was thinking about going to the wreckers and getting stock feroza wheels and putting 30" mud terrains on them, or buy some sunraysia wheels and putting 31"muddies on, what would be the better way to go in mind of cost and driving through the rough stuff.
New wheels aren't that dear- my CSA Ranger RV rims (read: Sunraysia) were under $60 ea new- and they are 15x7" which gives you more options for tyre sizes. So don't pay too much at a wrecker for second hand rims. Factory rims are only 15x6" from memory.
Factory rims are 15x5.5 I think. May vary depending upon the model.
Go the muddies. But go a 30x9.5. 31 will put alot of stress on CV's etc. Bob jane have a good sale on teh moment. From memory they were about 240 a tyre.
You must remember the extra grip will show up the weak spots. I broke a front uni purely because of the extra grip. Hubs will also be a weak spot. (broke them too)
If you are going to a wrecker, remember to check out Suzuki, Jeep, Lada, F100 rims. All bolt straight on to Daihatsu, and will give you a greater choice of style and width of rim. I would go the route you plan. 2 sets of rims and tyres. One, with A/T or H/T patterns for mainly bitumen driving. The second set, with M/T fitted for mainly off road work. Go buy a floor jack, and you should be able to change all 4 within 1/2 hr.

I have a set of 5 steel rims taking up space in the shed. $50 for the lot complete with 235 no terrains (baldies)
