Does anyone know if you can fit 285 x 33 inch tyres on a standard 100 series Landcruiser with IFS without doing a
suspension lift?

Hi my first 100 series turbo I fitted 285R75/16 tyres and regretted it, made fuel economy worst and the steering worst ,looked good !and i think you will find they are illegal to fit, 15mm rule, I have the new cooper ST maxx on my silverado 285R75/17 they are noisey , appear to be one tough tyre but the jurry is out until I make them work then I will comment as Iam not a fan of coopers tyres and will give them the benefit of the doubt for now as they ticked all the boxes for the tyre I was looking for except for the noise!!

Mate most states ( including QLD) that used to run the 15mm rule have now signed up to VSB14 and now permit a 50mm diameter increase and a 50mm
suspension lift without inspection or engineering.

We have a V8 100 series fitted with 285/75/16 BGFs and they are fine.
Used to have pro com 305/75/16.
