Hi,

Thinking of fitting 30mm spacers however, not sure what it will look like (main reason is to get better turning circle). Would be interested to get a few pictures of a TD5 90 running 235/85/16 tyres with 30mm spaces if anyone can help ?

Thanks.

I have the same tyres on my 90 and don't have any real problem with the turning circle, are you sure the lock stops are set correctly so that the tyre misses the front arms by about 20mm at full lock (both ways)?

Try a 110 then your turning circle will seem like a houseflies.

My 110 with 235/85s. 30mm spacers on front, standard rear.

I did fit all 4 lol for about 48hrs. Didn't like the feel, didn't feel like it was on rails anymore. Look the bollox though. Didn't take many pics sorry

Hi,

Yes, I had to adjust the stops when I went from the original tyres to the larger 235's as it was catching, there's about 15mm max either side now from the arm. The locks had to be opened up a good 2 turns which has reduced the turning circle more than I would have liked.

Lol, can imagine the 110's a beast to turn, thanks for the pic.

Any more pics with spacers front and back ?

Thanks.

Me too. Mine has Cooper STT Pro Mud Terrains on. No problems with the turning circle at all, even on the tightest lanes
