I do like the way you are holding that door mirror on with that strop40mm Lift kit by SES88 fitted:
Here it is with 225/65R17 General Grabber AT
With 215/60R16 Continental WinterContact TS tyres
With 225/55R17 General Grabber UHP

Thanks Guys,
Don't really want to go about lifting the Land just want the tyres bigger.

Changed the thermostat yesterday and had the wheel off. Noticed the new tyres have been rubbing on full lock.
Think I will need to get a set of spacers.

Good old thread and very helpful.
Thanks to all who posted!
I'm leaning toward 225/75X16 Grabbers with a 50mm lift for my 2004 Facelift Hippo..
Seeing all the 3-door Hippos makes me wish I had gone for one instead of my 5-door
They are pretty scarce over here though.

Currently thinking hard on the best options for my Hippo: as mine has the dealer-fit body kit and frankly the standard 16" triple sport with no-brand standard size tyres look decidedly... err.... how to put this politely... undernourished.
Given that all the period advertising pictures with this ghastly kit fitted used 17" triple sports, that's what I am looking for now - plus play be a set of chunkier tyres. Not sure how a non-standard tyre size will play with the insurance company though?
If I want to fill out the arches a bit more and bring the tyre outer edge a little more in line with the extended arches, will 17"s with a wider tyre do the trick, or will I need a set of the dreaded spacers?

I can't see the insurance company being too worried. If factory fit wheels are fitted, the tyres are legal and correctly rated for load and speed. I can't see a slightly different size making a difference. As long as it looks factory fit, that's good enough, for me anyway.

I suspect that they wouldn't insure wheels that aren't hub-centric. Far to risky imho. I'd not fit them to any vehicle of mine.Probably good enough for insurance assessors too
Which is another good case for going 17" over the non-hub-centric Modulars...
