United Kingdom 2010 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black
265/75 R16's with 30mm Spacers Pictures
I am about to change the wheels and tyres on my 110 and had decided to go black 16" Sawtooths with 235/85 BFG ATs and 30mm spacers.

However after reading everything on here I was wondering about 265/75's but I was wondering if with the spacers the wheels might stick out a bit much for my taste. Does anyone have this set up for me to see before I make the final decision.

thanks for your help

Dave

These are boosts with 30mm spacers and 285's. Even the 285s don't really poke out. If sawtooths are the same offset as boosts then you'll be ok.

I can tell you that 265s without spacers stick out enough to cake the sides of the car up to the roof with crud if you take it on the muddy stuff, with spacers will be worse.

I solved that issue on mine with Dirt D Fenders (no spacers) 2016 D4 HSE

It seems to stick out slightly more on the offside, especially the front

Yeah, that happens!! I plan to fit extended mud flaps at some point.

The one thing I personally question is if I'd have been better with 235's and spacers. I'm only in a 90 and the 265 muds I feel look a bit to much. On a 110 I reckon they look great. But maybe 235's and 30mm spacers would have been better.

265's look great on a 90 imo

285's for a 110

My replacement genuine sawtooths without spacers are just right, I am running 235s. If I added spacers they would stick out a mile. The sawtooths definitely have a slightly bigger offset and look perfect. '65' plate Defender XS 110 Station Wagon

Hi all, thanks for all your help. I think it has taken longer for me to make this decision than it did to pick names for the kids!😀.
Anyway I have finally taken the plunge and ended up going with 16" black sawtooths with 265 BFGs with no spacers.

Really happy with the results!

This looks ace Dave Thumbs Up Great looking 110 and the wheel combo suits it really well, looks the business!

Do you think you could also take some pics of the rear and front stance the new wheels give to the truck? My head is spinning trying to decide on what wheels to put on my 110, but I think your pics have almost just made it for me Wink Would be nice to see a direct snap from the front and back. MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

Hi there,

I have done my best. From the back the mud flaps hide the wheels so have taken from a slight angle.

Hope this helps

Dave
