Nice one, it's fun getting a good car for cheap and playing with it.
BTW I know the 17" wheels look better but I found 16" tyres are a lot cheaper.

im vain and theyre cheaper than my 18s are

Who let the disco driver in?

132,000 granted ive seen better. its got a ccu fault. mechanically it seems fine, put 50mm lift on, getting some 17" rims and probably 235/65/17 AT's, van interior, just fitted one of my Td4 snorkel kits. its getting a good clean tomorrow to photograph the snorkel.

Will 235/65/17 tyres fit without spacers DD.
I've got about 6 mm of clearance between the tyre side wall and strut with my current setup. I have 225/60/17 Maxxis Bravo 771 AT tyres. There's plenty of space between the top of the tyre and spring cup, maybe 25mm. However the space from sidewall to strut, is much less.

 

[Diesel Do]

It depends on the make. Most seem to but are very close. I've been asking a lot about tyre sizes and spacers recently. I've got my 5mm spacers if a touch more is needed.

 

[Diesel Do]

Only one way to find out

Was going to do 255/55/18 again but it's way too much agro.

Hippos get stuck on wet grass, where's the setting for that?

I can second this one, although it's getting more expensive as time goes on

You guys Relying on your nobs to drive

 

[monkfish24]

I'm considering picking these up, will I need to modify anything to make them fit?

two hands on the boot pushing

must admit though i never got stuck on grass in my hippo , was a cracking motor , only thing was the clearance that held u up sometimes , done well round the lz greenlaning event , will always have a soft spot for them

was it a fender that got stuck on grass
