Try speaking to Patrick at 'Specialist Leisure', he's a friend of my brother-in-law, who tells me there are good deals every so often

(Doesn't do the Mach 5's though)

Patricks got quite an interesting collection of J**P's, including a SEEP & A Forward Control (that got mangled on a trailer, due to a blowout a couple of years ago though)
The red 'HUMVEE' is his as well, very cramped inside.

Leo,

What do you intend to use the vehicle for ?

Knowing that will help us to offer an opinion  8)

Personally, I'd go for one of the 33 inch sizes.   The 10.5 should fit under the arches best, and will give you reasonable road manners.

The wheel / tyre combination is likley to set you back around 200-250 quid a corner, so it's a serious consideration.

Hope this helps

I wouldn't... not unless you also want to go for the 24 spline strengthened half-shafts, 4 pin diff carriers and uprated CV's

....and that all costs a lot more money  :oops:
