Evening,

Not been here for a while so hope this question is OK. I've also looked for a recent post on this but can't find anything younger than about 2015 so hopefully the question is ready to be asked again!

So two issues. I have a 2010 110 with the factory alloys on it. The turning circle is shockingly bad (and I know as I run three other Landy's and they are considerably better). So first question is what is the best way to go about improving this. As far as I can tell it is off set rims or spacers. I would prefer off set rims because it interferes less with the geometry (as I understand it). Trouble is I can't find any info on what the current offset is and even less on rims for sale that have an offset. Any ideas?

Second issue is what is the best winter tyre for general use in the UK over winter with one trip down to the Alps with the dogs. I bought BFG ATs before and they are excellent - I would buy them again but that is probably 10 years ago and wondering if anything had changed / there was a cheaper alternative.

Thanks in advance guys,

Jon

Bfg at are good all round tyres. There are better tyres for snow and ich but at a trade-off. They will be worse on mu, vravel, etc. There is now a never tread on the Bfgs. I think they are now called Bfg at km2. I have them and they are very good.

Thanks Mike.

I have the same turning circle issue on my TD5 (2002) but as its away have surgery, Ive not been able to check to see how the stop bolts are set with respect clearance . It is shocking at how much space it requires to turn.

If its the same as mine its not the stop bolts - as far as I understand it when they put the alloys on all of the extra width went inside the body which has meant the turning circle is truly awful!

That's why I'm looking for info about the offset rims because it moves the rubber away from the chassis which then means you can wind in the stop bolts to improve the turning circle. As far as I can tell though many don't like to advertise this as technically it moves the edge of the wheel outside of the body (but not the extended wheel arch) which is, in theory then an MOT failure.
