What model? I had a mate who used to run A/Ts on his XF wagon. Nothing too hard if you can get the right size.

BA 16". Plenty to chose from just wondered if anybody doing it as it's not common practise

One of my customers has a BA RTV which has A/Ts on it, would it clear under a wagon though?

As does our RTV but they are lifted, have lower offset wheels and this ones had a bit of surgery for clearance.

What is it you want to know sprintman1, what size will fit?

To see a wagon (AU) that has run various A/T combo's see OffRoadFalcon's project thread.

Yep Bridgestone 697 A/T. Mine are 225/70/16 (f) and 235/70/16 (r) but the size you suggested will be better for a non RTV. You may still have clearance issues with the top balljoint in the front. That size was standard on the RTV so is still pretty big for a Falcon.
