Title: 285s/16 on a 3.5 diff
Post by: mentalmoshio sophs V8i on March 20, 2008, 20:49:52

is this a bad idea to run this set up with 285s  simex pattern tyres to or very aggressive one on freestyle alloys on a 3.5 diff 10 spline model

Depends, if you drive it like you stole it then 265/75 can be bad enough. Treated with a little respect then standard axles can handle 35" simexs.

HMMMMM, I think you might be at the limit of it driving like a car with tyres that big, I can't get mine into top cog when I'm towing with 235/85s on.
