A little TLC makes it a member of the shiny club?

[dieselboy]

I spent a little while using some womenly cleaning products on the truck on Sunday. Thoroughly enjoyed the nice weather and peace and quiet. I used a paint brush to put on some tyre shine and couldnt help using too much. Think I'll go back to using a sponge, even if it disintegrates whilst using it.
Here's some pics

What size tyres are they, 305's?

[dieselboy]

Theyre US sized so, 33 x 12.5 x 15

Wish I had got the 16" rim and worked out the imperial size, it still confuses me.

305 I think would be a 12.5" wide as per above or would that have been a 325?

[Shalershasker]

I think 12.5 would be "classed" as 325 from memory, could be wrong but they look really nice whatever they are.

Looks great, I love the wide wheels... the stance is perfect

do you get any grief come MOT time - or getting pulled over?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Old photo, those wheels were pinched!

Thanks! I lowered the front a little late last year (I think) as the LC springs settled.

I've got 30mm wheel spacers on. Was pulled over around a month ago and had to remove them. But had them on for over a year now and only been pulled once. Nothing ever said on MOT time although I was asked to put my fog light back on. I'm glad too as I was worried in the winter months.

Yes but I got another set. And these have been looked after correctly with wax so haven't blemished
My friend jet-washed my other ones at Avalanche last year and every one got chicken pox. I spent a good while trying to polish it out too before they were stolen. Oh and a plus, my insurance was up for renewal this week. It's gone up from £290 fully comp to £320 on same terms. Still cheaper than Adrian Flux.
