I've got a set on my rrc and have fitted 235/85/16 mt's with 30mm spacers and have no problems with rubbing,in fact the turning circle is better! Got mine from paddocks on a price match deal but they have come down to £150ish check out the lro mags adverts. Im planning on 285/75/16 cooper discovery stt's (33/11.50/15) im told by the genius's at craddocks that they will fit but you have to use the spacers as well and i think thats a bit dodgy,then they told me they dont recommend using the spacers as well but are happy to sell me the wheels/tyres knowing that i'll fit them to something they dont recommend! Hopefully silverline will be a bit more helpfull and cheaper.

Hello mate,

I had flexi's fitted to my RRC soft dash, running on 238/85's.
No probs.
I've got lots of pictures if you want to send me your email address.

They are made by Innovation 4x4 I think,
I bought mine direct one year at Billing.
They make a newer more flexible wheel arch now.
Check out on the WWW or on ebay.
I paid £150 and then had to replace one @£40.
Cheers...................
