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

You can pick up much nicer wheels than those, for less money
I paid £120 for all 5 of my 17" Trek alloys.

I'm not after the wheels, I'm after the tyres! just a set to sit in the garage for green laning days or snow. not that the latter is likely.

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.

If your tyre depot are decent they'd let you get one tyre fitted and try it to be sure.

Offer less money for them. There worth half what they want

There's a hole in my plastic thing so I can get to the sump plug.
Do you change the oil every 2 years or twice a year. I'm confused

Sorry should have been more clear, I changed my oil twice in 12 months period, once in Autumn September then again in in March, so my next one is March 2017 along with the manifold clean, EGR clean, and MAP,

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

You will soon find out air bags go pop in the middle of the night.
