Shogun Warrior/ BFGs?

[scotspine1]

Mitsubishi Shogun Warrior swb 55 plate came with 285 55 r 18 Pirelli Scorpions, seems BF Goodrich dont do a tyre this size, does anyone know what size alloy wheel is needed to find the closest available BFGoodrich AT tyres to the original Scorpions?

 

 

Cheers

kumho tyres have sizes right upto 22 inch rims if this helps . even there mud tyres look good

Just swap to standard 16" rims for shogun 3.2, shed loads on ebay, paid £120 for 5 rims and reasonable tyres.

There's a much better selection of tyres to fit 16" rims than 18" rims.

 

BFG has a tyre size guide for the AT at

There is a LT265/65R18 (for a 7.5" to 9.5" rim) and a LT285/65R18 (for an 8" to 10" rim) which might fit, but you'd need to check that the increase in diameter won't cause a problem. It's likely that your rims would take either of these since they are likely to be in the 8" to 10" width range.

 

The 265/65 is approx +15mm in section (+30mm on diameter) and the 285/65 is approx +28mm on section (+56mm on diameter) compared to your 285/55's.

 

I would have thought that it is very likely indeed that the 265/65R18 BFG AT would fit without problems, provided that it is available in the UK.

It is, found this pic of the BFG ATs on the Warrior's 18 inch alloys -
