None of your image links work but having had a look at the site, I'm pretty confident that they're 255/85's on standard Wolf wheels but fitted on spacers (you can see the hub centering flanges). Darren

So do I. For a while before I bought my Blindos I was running 255/85 BFG KM2s on Wolf rims with 30mm Rakeway spacers and the appearance and protrusion is identical.
The only significant difference is that the vehicle pictured above is unfeasibly clean!  |

Ha ha - thanks guys, much appreciated.
Yes the C&V cars are always fairly impeccable - same with their Series motors. Brilliant - so I would guess that a set of ET0 aftermarket wolf rims without spacers + a set of 255/85/R16 MTs would give pretty much the same stance as the pictured ET20 rims with spacers? I already have genuine tubeless wolfs so I should be able to sell these to offset the ET0 rims. |

That's really very nice! Thanks for sharing, the tyre combo sits beautifully in line with the arches.

One thing I will say if it’s on standard suspension & heavily loaded on full articulation the rear tyres just lick the rear brows at the bottom. When I say heavily loaded I mean rtt & 4 weeks worth of travelling supplies inc tools & jacks etc….
We are now running OME shocks ( std size) & heavy duty springs as we are sitting around 3T fully loaded. |

Interesting - do you think its the size of the tyres or the offset that's causing the rubbing? So would 235s on ET0 rims still rub?

This was my 90 about 5 years ago when I had Gwyn Lewis challenge kit at standard height with boost alloys (+33 offset) and 255’s, used to just catch the rear of the rear eyebrows.
