Search for '285 defender' and you'll get quite a few results like this one: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f8/285-tyres-rubbing-126589.html 285's need an 8" rim and it looks like they will rub on a standard Defender - lift it, you know you want to.

I found this helpful when researching tyres: Visual Tyre Size Calculator | Kouki Tech I can't believe you've got away without a roasting for asking what are the biggest tyres you can fit!

Lol, no rush dude - MOT is months off and the old one isn't too bad anyway

Well he needs to stop building your roll cage and get my cross member done!:D To be honest I'm in no rush for the cross member and I'll probably be getting a roll cage off him later in the year anyway so I'm watching that thread with great interest.

I did a lot of searching when I was looking for a wheel and tyre package a few weeks back but didn't think of or see for sale 255/85/16's? I can say 235/85/16's and 265/75/16's fit fine without a lift. I went for 235/85/16's as it seems to be the most popular and the most recommended for my...

Them's the ones I have in mine (well, similar) they do the job well and can be mounted anywhere

I've put a set of 6x9's in the back, there are a few ideas here: http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/rear-speakers-defender-181126.html

I need to sort a CB out, time for a trawl through ebay...

It would be worth having a look at the sticky at the top of this section for info before you start get out there or have a look here: Green Lane Association Ltd. - Code of Conduct. The blue Disco on my Vids was Kenlandy by the way! I would say 3 - 4 would be OK but Ken will know better. I'm...

RVF400 - top bike!

I just got one of these kits and they look great, I was wondering about the rear door as that is gonna be a sod to do; do you have any pics of how you did it?

I know, that's how they arrived. I've not checked the inside to see if they've got any there too, will have to paint em black for now as the tyres should last quite a while.

I just put a set of Challenger steel wheels on my (green) 90 and they look great, I thought they were the best looking wheels out there for the money.

Scratchy scratchy!! I'll not be able to make it this weekend (apparently it's Mothers Day) I'll be right to go after that though. Got loads to do to the Defender in the mean time!

It is great on track, you find out what a bike can really do! I think you'd find my garage interesting... The Disco was lifted with Insa Turbo tyres, they were mud terrain but I can't remember which ones, I was in a standard Fender with General Grabber AT2's. There are a few bits missing from...

Yeah my RVF400, need to get it back on track soon!

Oh, I'd turn the sound off if I were you, there's a weird vibration that sounds awful - I'll have to sort that for next time

I did the Wayfairer a couple of weeks ago, a standard Disco would do it easy. It's a really nice lane though, I took some video if you want to have a look: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeRsBMKeVmQ

I just fitted a set to my Defender and they make a big difference - people can see when I have my lights on now! Do a Google search and it will show you the difference

You need to shorten it a lot to get a result, I had to cut it down in the end. It still wouldn't boost enough so I added an external spring that increased the preload enough to get it up to 1 BAR.
