[Jim-Willy]

Thanks, I always thought the 3 door looked better. The tyres are 33 x 12.50 x 15.

Mike, I've been watching yours evolve with interest, I was fully expecting to need to cut more out of the arches, but when the wheels / tyres arrived they had very little off-set and they actually go up inside the arches. I've tried it cross axled with a pair of ramps in opposite corners  :D  and it seems to clear OK. As for the front bumper, there seems to be plenty of room, it is actually a Scorpion winch bumper.

cuts like these, i had to chop a serious amount out of my arches and doors
fitted 90 arches as the alternatives were expensive and easily breakable
i have the template for doing the choppinf if you're interested

[RedDisco]

Thanks, I am tempted by the Defender arches, I have a brand new set in the garage I intended to use for this purpose. If I do go this route I would really apreciate loan of the templates. :lol:

The only thing is the wheels don't stick out any further than the standard body, and I think the arches might look a bit silly.

 On full articulation they do actually go up inside the arches without rubbing.

Another reason is there seems to be quiet a difference in size from one tyre manufacturer to another, mine seem smaller than other 33 x 12.50's I've used in the past.

I think the thing to do in the future would be to buy another set of wheels with more off-set.   (Anyone know where to buy them from ?? )

Thanks again for the offer.

Got them on my truck (not a disco i know) & 265/75x16 tyres, ook good & you can rivet them as high or as low as you want.

i'm running on extra wide offset rims so the wheels were sticking out around 3", hence the arches
chose these rims for increases track width and to maintain the turning circle.

they are just black 8 spokes u can get from any where  8)  :D

[RedDisco]

They are actually white 8 spokes, I re-sprayed them black. I tried to buy black wheels (I would have prefered mods) but couldn't find them anywhere in 15" diameter with Land Rover stud pattern. Lots of the big suppliers have them advertised but when you ring they haven't got them.
