33" or 32" tyres
Hi All, Do I need a lift to fit 33" OR 32" tyres on a 463 SWB G? Has anybody fitted them?
I ran 33" BFGs MT on an 15x8 ORC 27 wheel on my 463 300GEL. Looked meaty, but you will get some rubbing when you go off road. Try them out first before you raise the springs, I'm not sure what it will do to all those electrics sensors if you raise springs on the 400CDI you are getting :wink:
well they will sort of, they are for a 460 series the ones on ebay and the off set is different to that of a 463. they will stick out a bit further than those for a 463 which meansyou will be running illegally and the mud will fly up the side of your truck. They are only 7J and 33x12.50 BFGS do need a minimum of an 8j. so the bead wont sit on the wheel properly and sand and dirt gets wedged down the bead and it leaks air. :roll:
I would go for the Mach 5, I have a picture of them on a 460 SWB and they look really good.
The wider the track the better turning circle, with the BFGs they will rub on the trailing arms on full lock but its no big deal and if they just for off roading then shouldn't worry too much about the upset it might cause your on-board computor. Where's the off road trip on new years day, can I come and watch :P
Stir up some landy boys like I do on the D44 forum :wink:
not sure. try benzworld.org they might tell you.
15" will not fit the 463 G's after 1994. You need min. 16 " to clear discs and calipers.
Thanks Peter I'm bidding some 15" wheels on ebay, I'm guessing they will fit ?
