    big tire on dished deluxe bonnet

    i looked up the archives on this but i never saw a definate answer.
    ive got 31 inch tires on my 88.
    will 31s fit on the deluxe. bonnet?
    i was thinking about getting one but not if it wont fit
    could anyone throw a tape measure across a deluxe bonnet to get the measurement.
    thanks

    31 inch a big tyre??? You do know that 32 inch diameter tyres came standard on 109s don't you?

    I'm currently running a 33 inch 255/85R16 mud terrain on my dished bonnet.

      Yes, a 31" diameter tire will fit on the deluxe bonnet no problem. Your only issue may be tire width and blocking your view. Here are some pics of my old 63 (now ivarra's) with a 31" diameter 7.50x16 tire on the deluxe bonnet:

        thats great
        yeh ive got a 31 10.5 on flat bonnet now
        so i figures a dished bonnet would bring it down an inch or so
        looks funny on the flat bonnet
        thanks so much guys

          ^^IIRC, the deluxe bonnet will keep the tire at the same height. The bonnet is just 'thicker' overall.

                Hey guys
                got my bonnnet from rn yesterday
                took a trip up there. man its nice
                lots of nice things.
                i think i have to bring up the wings a little bit
                quite a bit of space between the bonnet and wings.
                i like it though.
                see everyone this weekend at the rally.
