ok ran one with same tyres, can run out of puff on offroad steep climbs.
also the handbrake is great to put power to the front wheels for climbing out of holes as rear axle gets more drive than front axle,
to much offset then you need a guard chop ,
trim the front bump stops to get a bit more upward travel at the wheel,
and radiator like to collect muddy water turn it to mud and overheat the engine, radiator set low

i think he wants to go to a 15x10.5-15 tyre and maybee 15x8 steel rims for cheaper and and more choice of tyres we have also tried my rims on but the offset was way to much for his marvie and cant find any stamps on the alloys that are on there at the moment of what offset they might be.
can you remember what you where running coxsy? i cant find any pics

with such a wheel base i'd be thinking about raising it as apposed to widening its wheel track...(raising it more)

he's lifted his, mine the red one was not lifted, it was tyres size he was after and 2011 was to long ago to remember tyre size.
