  • Time for new tyres, just how big tho?

    Time for new tyres and as I have a milner 50mm lift, can my 3rd gen accomadate 275, 75, 16's or 33, 10.5, 16's. Bigger than the originals?
    Local quick fit have a special offer on Pirreli AT's @25% off
    If I opt for the 33" ones, will a further suspension block kit be neede/suffice or will I have to fork out for a set of ES9000's 3" over to allow clearence?

    Do I have to go to the bank, cap in hand, wringing motion. Or is the suspension blocks a viable option?

    Rule of thumb is 4'' of lift to get 33'' tyres on.

    You've done the body +2". If you crank the front torsion bars 2'' you should drop the front diff an inch to take stress of the cv joints. You will need +2'' shocks = £35 each.

    Back - you can fit spring spacers or longer springs or land cruiser springs. You should fit +2'' shocks and you should fit a drop kit for the panhard rod.
