New Rubber for the Brumby - Maxxis MT-753

Well after a fair bit of looking around and research, I've settled on a set of new tyres for the Brumby. (unless I get irrefutable advise to do otherwise)
Maxxis MT-753's 185r14
At $125 each they appear to be pretty good value and should go a damn site better off road then the current lower profile road tyres that are on there now.

At 25.5 inches I'm expecting a bit of a rub on the unlifted ute? But hopefully nothing a bit of trimming or a BFH can't fix.
Is anyone running these?
Will post up pics once they're on.
New Tyres are on - Look Smik.

do they come in 13"? nothing good comes in 13" it would seem. I think i'm going for toyo 720f's on my L series, i have the stock sunraysias...
where do you get the 14" wheels with the subaru stud pattern?

The tyres are going well so far, but the real test will be off the black top - and they look great compared to the other smaller ones that were on, pretty quiet on the road too (no real difference between them the road tyres I had on before ) but Brumbys aren't really sound proof booths on the road anyway.
Keen as mustard to take them off road but will need to put in the lift kit first otherwise they'll just fowl on the front guards (does it now if I go up the curb too quick)
I got them from ACE Tyres & Auto in Murrarie in Brisbane.
Just Ordered a set!!
