Hi all.
I have a 1996 3rd gen 3.0 surf with horrible aftermarket wheels on it.
Had them on for over 3 years now and I'm sick of them.
I now need 2 front tyres so instead of buying the same size tyres I want to replace the wheels and tyres.
My surf is blue over silver and quite tidy,it is also the family daily car,tow car etc so I don't want yo fit anything that's going yo completely ruin it's good driving characteristics.
Rarely goes offroad either so mega aggressive m+s tyres are not necessary.
What I do want is a set if wide steel wheels and road/semi offroad tyres.
Tried a set if 2nd gen 15" aftermarket wheels on mine and they did not clear the calipers so unsure if 15" steels would clear or not.
There's plenty 7" wide wheels but I want them to stand out by bring wide but I don't think I can go yo 10" with standard bodywork,unless I can get a road tyre without big chunky tread that will clear??
My suspension is standard height but with roughtrax heavy duty springs (which are lower at the front and always have been).
I'd also consider a lift kit if necessary to fit wider wheels,my surf has barely cost me a penny in 3 years so I feel like spending a bit to make it look nicer.
Any info appreciated.
Thanks rollo.
