They're lovely wheels but it's a labour of love keeping them clean

The valeter we use is good but I'm a bit anal, wasn't impressed that the dealer washed my car with a brush last time it was in, they're asked to leave it dirty!!

Advice please folks. I’ve read this thread and think I know the answer but before I shell out I just want to confirm.
I have a trailer set up that would benefit from the hitch being a few cm further off the ground. I’m looking to fit 255/85/16 (currently on 265/75/16) tyres and 30mm wheel spacers. The rest of the Defender is standard with the sawtooth wheels. No lift. Will this work? Any advice is really appreciated. Plus is the 255/85/16 noticeable narrower front on than the 265/75/16? Cheers. Nick |

Yes, it will work. The 255/85 is theoretically 18mm taller in section than a 265/75, so in reality it won't materially raise your coupling, and it is 10mm narrower.

Yup, my size 12's would make a nice dent in her skull with her crouched down like that.
