Looks not only mean. It looks like it wants to go to war, get down and dirty, and take no prisoners. It's kinda screaming, fuck yeah!

Re: Tires on the Wilga

I like the monster truck mantis look GT!

Will the tires rub on the gear? I know when I hit bumps and ruts they wobble around quite a bit. How's the clearance at the top of the tire?

Re: Tires on the Wilga

Looks like you have a few inches between the tire and gear, I'm sure it's not an issue. In the rough stuff, I've seen bushwheels "wobble' from side to side at the top of the tire, which could rub on something with tight clearances (hard to explain, easy to see).

Mind you, this was in really rough areas.

Re: Tires on the Wilga

Looks awesome George! I tried talking my wife into letting me buy a wilga instead of the 180, but she just could not like the look of them. I on the other hand love the look!
