OK, looking at those photos it would appear that the tread of the tyre is protruding pass the edge of the wheel arch flare. Then again photos can be deceptive
As far as I am aware that is illegal. So rather then trim the existing wheel arch flare you might be better replacing the existing one with wider flexi arch ones from say Flatdog HERE Or remove any spacers you have fitted. Brendan |

Looking at the pics in your gallery, the back of the 90 looks very low so maybe it's your springs and shocks that are tired and sagging.

Certainly get rid of the spacers, looks odd when the wheels/tyres stick out too far. Plus the amount of crap that gets thrown up the side of the truck will be unbelievable... Trust me, I've been there..!

You need to remove the spacers - that will solve the clearance issues, plus modulars already have a massive offset - adding spacers to modulars is too much and gives it the redneck look IMHO

I would stick a set of 2" + springs on and remove the spaces, I would be interested in the spacers if you get rid of them?

Tyres look good. I'd consider a lift and maybe trim the corners?
Wheres the green lane? you might be better testing it at a pay and play though mate. More fun for you and wont upset anyone Defender puma dormobile camper |

I have 35" x 10.5" simex and about 6 cm lift.
and it still touches even after a liitle trimming. My tyres extend a little to far too about 4 cm while the dutch law says 3 cm max. Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Now I went for a little stiffer springs 285 lbs front and 325 rear and that is just enough not to do damage. It still touches at full articulation.

Whaley bridge Cheshire but on the boarder with Derbyshire, yeah the lane was just to test the tyres against the extentions really but yeah I know what you mean Graham 1988 Defender 90 county 200tdi ( Beast ) Paul Walker 1973-2013 ( I Almost Had You ) |

I removed all the wheels spacers today and it has made a great difference, tyre noise has been slightly reduced, the car no longer tries to twist when going round corners, and the extentions don't rub anymore when going over speed bumps, but will still need to be tested on rough ground really but think it will be all right Graham
