Hmm, I got a strange feeling there will be a set of five LR Boost alloys (16" x 7") shod with nearly new BFG AT tyres listed on ebay at 7PM this evening - don't know why but I just feel it in me water (tyres are only 235 wide though)

kingpins are a bit ****... my dad has them on his series, admittedly they are a bit old now, but the first motorway trip he's done in it since he bought it, 2 of them died. Hmm...

if ya want maximum diff clearance the only way to achieve this is with tyres,body lift and suspension lifts will not give any more clearance..

the thing that most often gets ya stuck is the diffs grounding out..

i started with standard 205 tyres,,,then put 236/85/16 ats on,,,then 265/75/16 insa turbos,,,then simex 35/10.50/16...i now have 35/11.50/15 silverstone extreme...

What mods do you have to carrying out to run these tyres? I take it you have to have a body lift? What else? Steering mods? What wheel size? Upgraded running gear? etc.

I saw a defender on ebay the other day with 38"x13x15 maxis creepy's and now i really want big wheels providing i can find some reasonably prices ones. Just need to find out wat else im gonna have to do to it to make them work, cheers.
