    Biggest size rims and tyres for Mk1 TD4

    ive got 225/55/17 on mine but a bit bigger will fit, also on other landys there is a steering nut/bolt which can be adjusted so the tyres dont scrub on anything,but i dont know if the FL has got them.

    3 amigos fault on 08 Defender

    hope all goes well for you,what i cant understand is WHY land rover put all the electronic gizmos on their vehicles in the first place.traction control,hill descent,& such,the low ratio box does these functions anyway,& abs is sometimes dangerous in mud & snow. regards stan.
