Badley made wheel arch extenders ..
If something was that bad your rear tyres would show wear on the edges where the axle is tracking incorrectly.

Mismatched wheels and tyres?
Standard arches bud. Not the best pictures I know. I only put spacers on today, so only noticed how bad it was today.
Same wheels and tyres sir. All wheels are 8j and all tyres are 265/75/16
They are alloys but all the same size and same size tyres. Landy is 1994 defender 90 300tdi if that helps.
Not sure if you mean, did I forget to put a spacer on one side or not but I definitely did! All 4 the same mate. I'd be very embarrassed if that was the reason!

It could be that you have two different hubs on your axle. Some are 'hub centric' and fit alloy wheels whilst others are 'nut centric' and fit steel wheels.. 1994 is the changeover year I think ...

Rear suspension bushes and A-frame bushes. Chassis damage to A-frame cross member or even trailing arm chassis mounts.
This is what I was looking for. Cheers! A frame bushes are next on the list anyway
I changed both rear hubs yesterday, As all 5 bolts holding brake disks on snapped.... on both sides! So same hubs on the rear I know that much. I think it must be something to do with bushings. A frame first. Then I'll keep working my way to the front.

When you changed to your new wheels was that more noticeable to your previous standard set. Does your vehicle have history of bodywork removal or chassis replacement in the past. Panels by britpart compared to original need fettling so may give the impression of misalignment.
I've only had it around a year, and it came with the wheels and tyres that are on it. Like I said I only noticed it yesterday when I put my spacers on. It instantly caught my eye.
No idea what work it's had done previously. Signs of chassis repairs but body work is unbelievably clean. I'll keep crossing things off the list as I go. Many thanks for all the replies and ideas. Much appreciated
