Hi all, hope you all had a good Xmas and new year!

Just a quick one, well two really

Q1/ am I correct in thinking that 'et0' modulars will poke OUTWARDS 8mm further than 'et+8'?

Q2/ are which ever ones poke out furthest going to be too much for arches etc on a disco 1 with 285/75 16 BFG muds on

Thanks

Towsey

285 75 16 tyres will need a lot of trimming on a standard Discovery ...

Thanks for the replies

I thought that was the case but wanted to be sure. I have a couple of mates who have 265's on +8mm wheels that look ok but (if I get away without having plastic arches) I didn't know if mine would hang out a lot more with the extra offset and wider 285 tyres. I know the measurements but you know wot they say about theory and practice, I think experience counts

Cheers
