On 17" rims mine was already a tight fit with 265/70/17

Dump the cover and get 285's :thumbup:

Driko, get a quote from Jackalberry first, the one they make is pretty adaptable WRT wheel size, and it has a bag for rubbish.

If they are too expensive now, speak to Lientjie at Blue Hole Trading.

Driko, Blue Hole is the custom shop that made my tent.

Sure she can do it, and her prices were the best I found.
