Not gonna go stupid ? with the wheel size in it 255/70/16 though of going 255/80/17??? so overall 1-2 inch more.✔ monster tires would look dumb???

Try 265 x 75 x 16
That's what I have on my Navara and the speedo is now correct.
It came with 255 x 65 x 16 on it and the speedo was 10ks out at 100kph.
 
Me 79. 5.9l diesel swap sitting on 37s. Trying to find a pic of my 93. We used to 4wheel, quite a bit.
And what's wrong with a Mazda? It's just a rebadged ford. And everyone knows the OZ gets the best vehicles and the rest of us get poop on. Would have rather had the v6 diesel not the i5 but is a decent engine from what I gather. Should do decent on fuel too. Arnt you guys limited to tire size or something like that? Cant lift the trucks too high?

Cool, a 4x4 thread. Here's mine.

2015 Jeep Wrangler rubicon. 3" lift, 35" BFG KO2's.

Added a K&N snorkel and 52" light bar in the second pic. Lots of water crossing up north here in Ontario, Canada. As you can see, she doesn't look happy in the snow. lol

I head up north and wheel it as much as possible. Prefer rock crawling over mudding. Solid axles FTW!

Funny how 37's always look so small on a pickup, yet 35's look absolutely huge on a Jeep.

Once I get my axles gusseted and trussed, I'm going to throw some 37's on it.

This is true. My ford has a mazda badged 5speed in it. Came stock that way I think. It holds up fine to what I guess is about 350-400 hp, big tires, locked axles, and a heavy helping of leadfoot syndrome. Its getting a bit sloppy at 90k miles, but still works fine.

50mm max in Oz but you see a lot more on the road

The Mazdas here are a rebadged Isuzu D Max
Nothing at all like a Ford.
The Ford here runs a 5 cyl 3.2 litre diesel.

2 feking right ? basically they say that the steering geometry and bump steer starts taking a hit after the factory parameters are changed? then to top it off all the states here have different thresholds ?‍♂️??

They do handle significantly worse when you go real big on lift. That Mazda almost looks like the recently rereleased ford ranger hear in the states. I don't believe we have any small truck diesels here though. Usually its a pitiful gas job. You guys have better stuff.
