Pretty sure they put the tyre through a tyre guage and I think its about 36.5 or 36.8, cant remember
, Creepys and procomps wont fit hence the mass smoke up of tyres at outback challenge.
Pretty sure the boggers would fit, they are pretty small.
If there to big, smoke em up

Ateco and OBC limit tyre size to 36.5 x 13.5 based on a gauge with internal dimensions of 928mm and 343mm. Due to the issues at this years outback the rules for the 2006 Ateco have been updated to require a minimum pressure of 20 psi.
I believe that the Vic Winch uses the same tyre size. If in doubt get in contact with Sandy and ask him. You can find their details in the comp section. Look for Vic Winch.
On the right rim a 37 inch bogger will fit. Dont know about creepys. Perhaps you can get the tyre seller to confirm for you before he sells them to you. NB when buying your tyres a rim that is too narrow will make the sidewalls to wide.

Are you sure?
I would have thought that a skinny rim pulls the sidewalls in, making the wheel/tyre unit narrower, but taller.
Can anyone confirm this?
