Dont suppose anyone makes a cheap 17 inch steel rim do they lol

I was quoted $375 for 265/70/17 (Jax in Atarmon).
and for steel rims, don't most people just use the Prado ones? (check ebay)

Look in the fitting 33" tyre thread....theres a pic there of my 285's in relation to the factory UCA with my zero offset wheels.

I dont beleive they will. Even onfull steering lock hit the UCA.

Thanks for your help guys, Im going to go with 285/70/17's with some plain black steelies but im thinking I might go for the new cooper st maxx's over the KM2's as they are about 30 odd buks a tyre cheaper and everyone keeps raving about them

Really quick question guys, do i really need the backing plates for the prado brakes? They are an extra $110 and if they really dont do much i wont bother with them

petty sure scottsr20 said he just bent the factory hilux one back to clear them.

You could also remove them altogether if you wanted....it would help with cooling the rotors.
