Hello - I have a brand new set of 7.50r16s on freshly powder coated 5.5 original rims. They look awesome but want the car to have a wider stance (and look less like a shopping trolley). “Fill the arches” people say. Am looking for any pictures of 7.50 tyres with wheel spacers. Thanks

Might help if you told us what vehicle they are on . They will look awesome on a mini

So you want it to look like something other than a series Land Rover.

If you put spacers on 7.50 would the tyres hit the arches ?

It’s a Series 3. I know it’s not to everyone’s taste, but that’s the joy of land rovers, you can make them what you like. I just want a slightly wide wheel base since I’ve gone for skinny tyres and original rims. Thanks

Well it is posted in the Series section of a Land Rover forum. Do we really need Sherlock Holmes to figure what vehicle they might be for?

Well, I’m sure you know that there is a difference in the width of Series One axles and Series Two and Three axles , so it is not a given what the vehicle is . My 107” has a Series Three rear axle and 30mm spacers on the front , so it is not unreasonable to ask for more information .

Spacers will certainly work. Just buy non hub centric ones. As the flange on the hub centric spacers may not clear the centre of standard rims very well.

You might also want to consider swapping wheels to some One Ton ones. They look like standard rims but with a deeper offset. Wolf or 130 rims would work too, but look slightly different with the holes in.

This was my SIII. It’s on One Ton rims with 1” spacers at the front only and 7.00 x 16 tyres.
