I am currently running the original 14 inch wheels on my jago, but am dying to upgrade to some nice big wheels and tyres which fill the arches a bit more. can people tell me what size wheels and tyres they have on their jagos, im guessing i can easily go to a 15inch, and probably a 16 or 17 inch without any problems , the only restriction i can see is the wheel width, but theres so much space in the arches, im sure you can get a tractor wheel in there, without fouling anything up.

I run Colway MTs on 15" Wellers. 235/75x15.
I have a 1700 xflow with a 5 speed Sierra box and a 4.125:1 diff. It just about cruises at 60mph in 5th in calm conditions. Really needs a 4.4:1 to be able to use all the gears "normally".
Cheers

beware with 16" 17" etc as most wheels these days are for front wheel drive and are very inset compared to the wellers normally fitted and will euther foul the strut or look silly stuck right in
205 70 14 on mine about as big as will fit with small arches

I have 15inch wheels on mine with 265/70/15s on 8x15 rims and they fit nice under arches but the only prob is they foul on full lock on the front. taking her to newark if you need to have a look or e-mail me and i will send you some pic of how she looks.
