No idea if it was DDs experience, but they look like a tread pattern that would fill up and stay filled? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Measured for you today…. doesnt even register on the tyre gauge and where I got confused, side lugs are massive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous doug Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Just to update everyone. Stephen is safely in the south and on his way to collect tyres. Had a chat, half shafts handed over and had a discussion about the dirty active speed cameras around the m25. was a pleasure to meet you mate, safe journey and lift with your knees when you take the pin out of the van….@landroversforever will vouch for that 😂 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I haven't though about building a 5 cylinder turbo independent suspension buggy... FWIW it had hydro boost from factory, but too expensive to fix when it went wrong, so runs a normal servo now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaghost Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 I do give myself some work............ Had a quick measure up this morning, it there present form the treps and rims are going to stick out 6" either side, increasing my carefully fabricated width by 12" in total. ........that will not do..... Tyres are going to have to come off and wheel centres removed and repositioned, I don't think I will get these as inboard as previous ones, however that doesn't really matter as they will be for off road use only do the cheeky/ taking the p%%s scale will not be required Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
