Had a run out today to try out the gearing on my big rear wheels ,changed them as gearing was far to low and i like the look of the high profile tyres.I stopped to check the wheel nuts and took a few pics.

Yes! Like the look of the big tires way better. What size are those?

cheers guys !
Tyres are 8.5 x 17.5 truck radials on adapted truck rims ,they have the offset needed to get past the body without big spacers or a wider axle ,It will put more stress on the bearings but the scimitar axle is a strong axle.
