Thank you for all your replies to my earlier post. I would like the BFG's but they're out of my budget at the moment. Have been offered some discounted Maxxis Bighorn 285/75 x 16. Firstly will they fit on my 16" x 7" rims (the dealer says yes but better to check with the experts) & let me turn...

Hi, Looking to buy a set of 5 alloys & tyres for my 2000 Td5. Would be happy to buy some used ones if anyone has a set for sale? Will any type of disco alloys fit? I've bought the 110 with the intention of kitting her out for extended trips but haven't owned a Landy since 1980 when I stripped...
