15" or 16"

I spoke to the man at 4x4 accessories and wanted to order265/70/16 MT tyres on chrome 8 spokes just to use in the fields mostly at lambing/calving time. He couldn't get them 'till April but said that 31 10.5 x 15's would fit. I fitted them to the front and they jam on the brake caliper. Phoned again and he's going to send me spacers - do you think this will work?

Hi Jax.
No matter what kind of 15" wheels you put on, they'll never clear the calipers. 16"s or nowt.

I guess you have a 3rd gen Surf. If so 15" wont fit.
GET YOUR MONEY BACK

He's right, 15" is to small. You need 16".....hmmm on Banged up dot com theres sumat to do with 18" but i think thats irelevent...

Looks like its an issue on 3rd Gen [believe they normally come on 16's]...I run the 31/10.5/15's [no need for spacers] using Colway ATs but thats on 2nd Gen and they're fine.

Yep brake disks and calipers on 3rd gen are the same size as on the big Landcruisers, no way that a 15 inch wheel will fit unless you fit about a 2 inch spacer and that will definately kill your wheel bearings.
