ewalberg Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Past: San Francisco. Present: Germany Vehicle(s): 2000 g500 Posts: 1887 | Re: off road practice day those are stock sized wheels. more power i supposed, and more contact pressure... not that the g has any need for that! Those rims are also so thick with steel you could drive cross country on bare metal without damage. | ||

TWODOGS Extreme Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: UK Vehicle(s): Norwegian Army 240GD Posts: 584 | RE: off road practice day I run steel rims and 7/50 16 Michelin XCLs as the G can cope with that size and there is less wear on the wheel bearings indeed its a factory fitted size, also steel rims are strong and available for my type of offroading its ideal .

I also like the look of an older G with stock wheels and tires. Good show!! | ||
