What do you want them for? They only help a small amount with mud spray on bigger offsets. But dont do anything to stop tyres rubbing

And they look like cheap sofas.

Probably look even worse when one of your wheels falls off.
Why falling off?

Spacers.
Rims with offset much better?

Probably. But standard is always likely to be best.
Your vehicle was designed by a team of qualified motor engineers. What they specified is going to be a good overall solution.

Looks fine to me. Do you really need the winch and snorkel?

If you drive through water that deep, make sure you drain your diffs and transfer box afterwards. Water will almost certainly enter them.

What a miserable thread.
When did this site become so judgemental and uptight?!
Check out flat dog flexi arches,they’re available in different sizes.

We can't voice our opinion all while trying to save him time and money?

I’ve re read the OP and he’s not asking for money saving advice or tips,I could be wrong though...
As a new member it doesn’t exactly look welcoming people questioning why there’s spacers fitted or a snorkel or why they want extended arches.
Everyone is different,people use their Land Rover for different things.

If you want some you could get these from Paddock Spares they post things everywhere. Just have your Land Rover how you like it that’s part of the fun.
I do not have them but know plenty of people that do…happy driving!

If you want to suggest people use wheel spacers, you go right ahead.
I won't be, because I think they are often dangerous, and can actually make access more difficult in some places.
Also, you don't know the back story to this. Which is that this chap PMd a group of members, including myself, with his original request about wheel arch "extensions". I sent him a link to this forum, and he posted here, but also in the Members Vehicles section, which I have reported and has now been deleted.
I don't suffer fools gladly, so I told him what I think.
