Standard rims are +30 for the Spain built. a -6 is going to hang way out pass the guards. Are you looking at 8" or 7" rims?
265/75 16 on a stock d40 or not ??

They are Mickey Thompson FC II, prob one of the most aggressive AT tyres out there.
I am suprised hor quiet they are and how much better they make the car ride!
F%^&* 15mm rule, im so sick of all these baseless resctrictions placed on our mods by the gov.
Its not like we are trying to build monster trucks to run over shopping trolleys.

How do they roll?
Mr Frontier,
I am about to become the pround new owner of a 2010 stx D40 and I am looking to fit exactly that combination of wheels and tyres. My D40 will have a lift so I'm not to worried about the rubbing etc. My question is how does the vehilce drive now with the bigger tyres? Speedo would be out by around 5%? And also how have the Victory rims held up? just wanting to know if there is any show stoppers. 17x8 black speedy's with 265/70/r17 STT coopers. should look saaweeet!
Photos coming when the car does!!

I was advised against the 276/75s and went for 265/70 BFG ATs on mine, basically standard height vehicle.
The speedo will change - but the speedo's accuracy is fairly meaningless, if you want accuracy on the vehicle's speed, use a GPS device. What is more important is that the odometer - accurate from the factory on factory tyres - becomes inaccurate. You will be doing more km than shown, so if you're finicky about regular servicing, wipe a few k's off the indicated figure (over 10,000km, you could see over 100km difference). It all depends on how specific you are, I suppose. Personally I don't really care a few % this way or that, I don't thrash my car anyway.

I have just had the truck engineered for suspension mods and wheels and the Engineer was so impressed with the wheels he went and bought a set for himself. Only issue I have found is the black does chip fairly easy .
My speedo is close enough to reading correctly now . By default mine was reading about 10% low at 100kms.Now with the bigger tyres its reading almost spot on.
Not that it matters I calibrated my scanguage with a GPS so at a glance I can see what my real speed is .
I had no lift at all on the truck and found no rubbing issues with either the 265/75/R16 BFG AT's on stock rims or the 265/70/R17 BFG AT's on the Speedy wheels .
As to how the truck feels on the BFG I honestly havent ever had anything but the BFG on the truck since new. It was delivered with them fitted .Now have 75k on the clock and much prefer the ride and feel of the truck to many sedans I have driven.

Have just fitted Mickey Thompson 265/75/16 MTZ's today. I get a little bit of rub when reversing with full lock but nothing going forward (so far). All good

265/75/16 should be no problem for a standard D40 mate, I have 265/75/16 MTZ's. Mine is a ST-X (spanish built) and I have no issues with tyres sticking out. A thai build with different rim offsets may be different though.
I am sure someone with a thai build will comment.

265/75 16 onstock d40
want to put these on my d40 (thai built st), spoke with heaps of people re: coopers.mickey thompsons.bf goodrich and a few others. most have said will fit wont rub at std height but anything more aggressive than a/t's may get a bit of vibration thru steering and be prepaired for a fair amount of road noise.
Had really good feedback on hankook mt's, bit noisey-but no other probs,same if not better ks than coopers, plus can get them cheaper.
let us know what you learn, and what you get.
does any one else have any feedback on the hankooks?
