I was planning on 31" tires right away, but those 235/15 BFG's are not even 1/2 worn yet, & they are the heavy ply sidewall versions, too. So no big tires until I wear these out.
I thought those style rims were 16" Well thats what my 89 model has on it.
Ive got a few sets of 16" 6 stud rims here, our new larger passenger cars are fitted with 16" steel rims std now so 205(215)/60/16" tyres are a common size. As a bit of a mini truck thing you put car tyres on the 4x4 16" rims.
Ive got a set of Nissan (Patrol/Navara) rims for the luv and 2 sets of Hilux (IFS) ones that im selling. I scored a set of the Chrome hilux ones the other week so im on the hunt for some more used tyres. lol.
Heres the Hilux ones with 55's on the front and 60's for the back.
Here they are on my ute. made the steering a bit heavy they did. Also the weight of them doesnt go too well with a worn out 1.8L motor, its like having 4 extra flywheels.

i think the mechanic is full of you know what, more than likely it's just a bad vac line causing the crappy idle, new ignition stuff couldn't hurt either (new plugs, wires, rotor, cap, set the timing) plug wise we use Bosch Supers or Platinums (used NGK's once and they were good, but i like the Bosch's better
) If you have idle surge when the engine is warmed up check out the Tech article over at Planetisuzoo on how to fix it, it'll save you a boat load of time trying to figure out what the heck is wrong. If you have any questions about the 2.6 (or Gen 1 Troops in general) you can ask 800xl, MEPR, or myself as we all have a fair bit of knowledge with them.
Id say just stick with the NGK. BP6ES-11. Ive never had any drama with em. I just changed out the Bosch super plugs in my Pup and only had one of them clag up in the 2yrs they were in it. Im still happy the old girl burns heaps of oil so i cant blame the plug.
I know a bit about the 2.6L as well, but probably not as much as the others. Im a pull it apart man, lol, ive got 4 in the shed but im yet to put on into something. One is earmarked to go in the pup efi and all where the 2.3L should be and another is planned to go in the luv with a 4 speed auto behind it.
Cheers. Bob.
