Ive been recommended BF Goodrich All Terrai...

Re: 2012 Hilux SR5 tyre recommendations

I've been offered some Bridgestone Dueller All Terrain 265/65/17 . Would these compare to the BFG's performance on/off road?

Re: WRX off-roader

I was wondering if the width would be ok? Would replacing my current 195 with a 205 work?

Would the 205/70/15 fit alright? (please excuse my ignorance..)

Re: WRX off-roader

I will definitely put up some pics when shes done. At the moment it is just a slightly raised gravel express wrx. No centre diff lock.

Should look pretty good once it gets some tyres, mud flaps, bull bars and hella spottys. thinking of having the entire thing sprayed black when its done too.

WRX off-roader

Hi,

I am after a set of off road tyres for a 96 WRX hatch for light off road use.

Anyone know of any that would fit the factory subaru rims (currently has 195/60/r15)? Could go up to 75 sidewalls.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers!
