Have been reading previous posts on this topic, generally deciding on a 50/50 attitude towards them. Just checking that they do fit series trucks? I am aware of the extra strain on drive trains, steering and wheel / swivel bearings. Do they affect the turning circle? thanks

They do fit series trucks. Turning circle should be improved.
The land rover drive train/bearings etc are sufficiently over engineered to cope with the added strain of either spacers or offset wheels.
If you've got larger tyres, you will need arch flares.

think tbm has said all there is to say really :) should fit fine... and you wont get any more extra strain than you would with offset rims anyway.

if you fit spacers AND offset rims, then you are asking for trouble
i'm running rims with about 70mm greater offset than standard on my series3, with no problems.

Thinking of spacers myself :? But wheres best place to get some, not alloy ones though :shock:
