Ah Ken my good man, this is good. Then the wheels would need to be 8" if I have understood this correctly? Which imediately discounts the ZU option and also the Blindo's. This leaves modulars or wolf rims or Mach 5's but they are so common and cheap lookingFishing for doggies
Can you PM me with costs please  59 2.4 110 XS Utility

"Tiring!" Got it! 
There's so many threads about wheels, tyres, boots and just about anything circular at the moment on the go on the site I know exactly what you mean! Becoming experienced a little myself over the last couple of weeks! Cibit - You're a bu993r I did momentarily grit my teeth with your last post but unfortunately your worm is but a measly specimin that looks like it's about to drop off!
Cibit if Ken says they're over eighty quid each he's ripping you off!  'Ken fishing now!' If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Cibit, I am in my own dilema on tyres too
 everyones on different stuff but think I know what I am going to go with 
My 110 is due end March. It will come with a set of boosts but dont like them too much so I am going to modulars, so you are not the only one out there thinking of them
I am baffled on some facts and I know there are loads of posts, but unable to find the answers. I am thinking 265 or 285 but do I need for either of the sizes? 1/Require spacers? 2/Need suspension lift? Any advise welcome guys  
TACK |

Cheers Fekete
dont know the size of the standard grabbers thats it coming with, just spent 10mins on the internet with not joy 
But if no lift or spacers needed for 265 or 285 then great, choice made
As the boost will be brand spanking new, not to sure what they will be worth in the second hand market, might try and trade them in with the supplier of the new wheels if thats a done thing |

Ken, If I could get them anywhere near that price I'd buy 'em all up myself and go into the tyre game and clean up! Normally I deal with Micheldever they are one of the regional wholesalers down here and their prices can be hard to beat!

Now that is a nice looking landy....had the same set up on mine with no issues as well on standard springs.
If you have seen my new wheels on my recent thread, i got my inspiration from AlexE who had them on his 110DC in black....sorry Alex ive blatantly stolen your pic.
Alex was running on 285s You cannot teach stupid people to do clever things |

So, if, say.... someone was going to put 285/75's onto their original Boosts, what size spacers would be recommended, do we think, if any? Seems to be conflicting thoughts on here
What issues would you have running, lets say, a bog standard 90 XS Puma with these tyres? Only rubbing at full lock, I assume? Mark

Should fit without may need to adjust the steering stops or put 30mm spacers on
