When you look at how big (huge) 235/65-17s already look, 245/65-17s might not be the best idea, if possible at all. Let alone that the speedo will be far off and the overall gearing will be quite a bit...
...it constantly!) To purchase some wheels. I have finally decided on some Fuel zephyrs but can't decide on what size tyres! Do I go 235/65/17 or 245/65/17?! The 235 will obviously mean less error on Speedo and less gearing etc issues, but I keep thinking will the 245 fill the arch more and...
For a 17” Swamper on standard suspension you can go 245/65/17, lowered 235/65/17 or even lower with a 225/65/17
On an 18” Swamper a 235/55/18 works really well

I’ve got 235/65/17’s on a 4motion with a 35mm lift kit. Rub a little on full lock. Anyone know what spacers I’d need to run if I fit the BFgoodwich 245/65/17’s ???
Thanks
Can confirm this - although my passenger side with 245/65 tyres has a few mm clearance - drivers side was rubbing a tiny amount initially but now I've got a few k on the tyres they're clear.
Can you describe the modification, please? Was it something you did yourself or something you bought? I also have 245/65 R17 but just a standard spare currently.
I’ve got the wheels but if I buy the 245/65/17 Wildpeaks and put them on would they be illegal ? I’m confused because I see hundreds of over sized wheels on transporters but surely they can’t all be illegal?
After LOTS of research, I went for 235/65/17 on the basis that 245/65/17 would likely rub at the rear of the rear wheel arches. With these on there is only about a 10mm clearance, with the 245's almost 100% certain the heat gun and some fettling would need to be done.
What wheels? The offset will be why or if your tyres rub.
I've got 245/65 R17 wheels on 8x17 et35 wheels, only had the tiniest bit of rubbing on the rear arch at the back on one side until a few hundred miles in. Ride height is about 20mm down from a std van.
Hi Everyone, can anyone enlighten me. How wide can I go with VW Davenport 17” wheels? I’ve raised the lowered suspension back to standard and am hoping to replace the 215/70/17 tyreseith 245/65/17 Falken wildpeaks to the Devonports, is this possible ? Does anyone know? TIA
245/65 R17 AT3WA's are 111 rated so that's also a factor, they'll be slightly stiffer than a 108 rated tyre so possibly a bit less comfort. But also stronger?
Just bought these Amarok Rocadura wheels and have been lining up a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3 245/65/17 to go with them
I’ve definitely got 30mm spacers for the rears and 10 or 20mm (I think) on the front. Has anyone else any experience of running these tyres and wheels? TIA
