Yeah we actually had a look at a Cub at their showroom a few months ago but the missus wasn't a fan.

265/70/17, also have to fit a longer axle due to the offset
I have exactly the same situation with the same size tyres on the Monterey rims behind the Heaslip  .
When I fit the Montey Rims and tyres I will be using a spacerwelded on the bottom face of the axle, so as to lift the hub centre, effectively 'lowering' the trailer relative to the wheel centre and returning the floor to the correct level.

Gal.

Mine is a powder coated chassis - I wish I had the gal chassis like the current models. Worth every cent.

That's what I was thinking although I'd go paint over powder coat for ease of touch up.
