Not everybody's cup of tea but I like the look even if they are pseudo beadlockers and not the real deal. Arch extensions are a must if you don't want a tug off PC Plod like Fekete. Not something he wanted to do but a must. See threads below.

The bits in the centre of your wheels. Yours look a bit rusty 😀 you can get shiny HD ones from Ashcroft or terrafirma.

The reason they are called drive members is because they take drive from your half shafts in the axle and then turn your wheels. The HD ones are shiny but also allow easy greasing and inspection. Ashcroft ones are about 100 and terrafirma about 20.

Looks just perfect.
I must admit to liking Mikes Blindos though!

They 12.5's?

I like the look, just not sure on the practicalities! Are they on 10" wide rims to? What offset you running?

I'm wanting 35's at the moment, but dont really want to push out 12.5!

Want 10.5, or at a push 11.5, just cant find anything except the Silverstone Extreme stuff (simex copies), and they only sit at 34 too. So not much over my current 255/85.

Hi there
They are 33/12.5x15, I'm so chuffed with the look, now I'm just waiting for the arch extensions. Not sure on the offset but I got them from Tyres Direct, great service if you speak to a chap called Greg. I'm not worried about practicality because we have another car so it's just for hooning around.

Good luck with your choice, I'll post more pictures when I've done the arches.

Offset is ET-50 as per the advert and yes they will be 10" width rims!

By getting the offset right you can go wider without the need for wider arches. These are 305mm which equate to a tad over 12" with no spacers and no lift.
