mud tyres and broken hubs

Post by newbyferoza »

hey guys I know this has been asked numerous times but my search button is not working properly. Since going out to Ormeau on Saturday I realise I need some muddies. I am wondering how big a muddie will fit on the stock rims. I am looking at bf goodrich muddies. Or should I just get some sunraysia rims and get 31's bear in mind I am getting both a 2" body and suspension lift done this week so I will have some room to play with :lol: I really like the look of the stock rims personally and would like to keep them

Also anybody from Brisbane who has not been to Ormeau should definately get out there. I have not done harder tracks before and was challenged throughout the day but the feroza did everything I asked of it except broke a hub. Drove out the driveway on full lock this morning and the car made a crunching noise coming from the front. Does anybody know how much to fix this also and where I would go to get this fixed

cheers Nico :armsup:

235/75's fit onto standard feroza rims. Not 100% sure but I think 30x9.5's should fit aswell.

Any mechanic should be able 2 fix your hub.

As far as I know 30x9.5 on a 6 inch rim such as the standards are not a legal fit...

I had 235/75's on my standards once, but driving on road was terrible and body roll on corners was very pronounced. I swapped to 15x7 sunnies and the ride was much better, as was the offset.

i had 30x9.5 on 15x7 rims. Not roadworthy due to size :cry: (greater than 15mm increase in diameter).

Hub - local mechanic - get some second hand hubs - Mine cost me less than 300 for two including labour.

My Feroza has 30x9.5 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tyres on 15x6 rims.... the dudes at Beaupries said those were fine.

Speaking of hubs, the left hub is rusted out, and needs replacing. Went to Repco for a quote for a new pair of hubs and they said would cost me $300 :shock:

Am seeing SKF tomorrow to find out further.

Anyone know where to purchase a pair of hubs for less than 300 bucks?
