Hello all, long time lurker here, first time post!
I'd like to store my 2004 Defender 90 TD5 in a garage this winter whilst not in use, however the garage roof is too low to drive it in. It would fit if I was able to reduce the height by (about) 4 or 5 inches.
Its currently running on 16" Boost alloys with chunky General Grabber tyres - so this combo is adding quite a bit of height to the car overall.
I had the idea of potentially putting it onto a space saver tyre (or equivalent). I tried searching for these online (the bolt pattern is 5 x 165mm) - but having difficulty finding something suitable.
Can anyone advise on a wheel/tyre combo that might be suitable please? I need the ability to move it in and out the garage easily so some sort of small/temporary wheel would be ideal. The vehicle will never go over 2mph so doesn't need to be roadworthy - its just for storage.
Many thanks in advance for any support!
