I think the biggest difference will be the DSG TVS upgrade we had done @BognorMotors that means its always in the right gear so less labouring that could get exaggerated with a larger tyre.

Not oxymoronic at all imo; this is the look I'm gonna go for!!
Awesome! What tyre size have you gone for, any issues with rubbing etc? How much are you lowered by? Bet it's a smooth ride
I love these OZ Racing Rally Raid wheels in this size, and colour.
Haven't the Pirelli Scorpion ATR(+) been replaced by the AT+ ?

That’s the B14s on their highest?
I was thinking of doing that to mine but I thought it would give a fair bit more clearance.

Yes highest setting but I carry approximately 500kg in the back and it’s been converted to a kombi with the 2+1 rear seats that add a little weight. No issues with tire rubThat’s the B14s on their highest?
dirty vs clean
kw coilover , front lowest setting , rear sits a bit higher , light nose down, when loaded to go camping she sits level.
banded amarok's 8,5J all around
general grabber at3 235/55 18
sliding door, catches the rear tyre, slight.
front rubbs the arches when going over some speedbumps, might raise the front 5mm or so

t32 17inch original wheels 235 65 17 Wildpeaks with 20mm spacers no rub. 10mm spacers should be ok for rub too

hi, what size are these BFGoodrich tyres as I'm struggling to find them in 235/65r17. thankyou

My tyres are Falken Wildpeak. BFG didn't make this size when I was looking. 235 65 17 need at least 10mm spacer to avoid rub in front arches. 20mm still tidy inside the arches without much mud spray with clearance inside rear arch about 8mm, too tight to use snow chains. G

20mm spacers will be problematic if you are lowering on 235 65. My son in Oz who is a great rock crawler (with a bobtail hilux Ute on 33" tyres and fox suspension +3inches) is forthright on the matter "real men raise their trucks!" Ouch...
