defender 90 biggest tyres?

I have my special tracks balanced but I do have a fair bit of lead on em. I opted to have it all only on the inside of the rim out of sight cos I see pikey quite often and wuz scared he'd start stripping the lead off my wheels aswell as off my roof.

Surely even if you did get a piccy it'd of just looked like the wind had blown over a garden gnome perched on top of the caravan?

here's some examples for you. You'll notice how hard it is to spot the difference between the real gnomes and pikey.

Ooops. I seem to have slipped in a piccy from pikeys last photo shoot.

I had my MTs balanced on the Disco. The place ran out of the lead weights. Should have seen the blokes face as his whole box of lead disappeared.

It's a nice feeling when you pay £2 for £20 worth of lead.

Pikey used to get his wheels balanced 4 times a day. He also used to hit em with a sledge hamer on a ragular basis. I can't see why he'd wanna do that?

first of all try searching first this qs gets flogged to death.

secondly you wont get 35/37" tyres on without a lift anyone who thinks they can is plain stoopid

Just to stir up an old thread?

Ahemm..

hi i have a td5 defender 90 and i am looking to put 35"s or 37"s on it i was wondering if any of these will fit until i can afford a 2" lift. i will not be taking it off road until i get the suspension so im not too worried if the tyres will rub on the arches on the bumpy stuff for the time being i just want to know if they will fit under the arches without me haveing to cut them.

I have read somewhere that if you extend the axles with multiple plates, I think you need 7-10 35mm spacers mounted together, you can pretty much put any tyres on that you want - a friend of mine did this and he actually managed to mount some 46" wheels on his...of course, his top speed is now only 8.7mph, but he can pretty much drive anywhere....
pm me for more details..
