Andrew, what size MT did you fit ? Look like 255/85 ?
Is your 110 still on standard factory suspension ? I have a set of Mack 5 with 255/85's one, Not tried them on the 07 defender as yet, but when they were on the old TD5 with standard suspension, there was not a great deal of clearance on the front wheel brows/arches California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

As above - there were some stories of the welding giving up on some of the Mach 5s and concern that they weren't upto the job. Zu rims are fully tested and rated as far as I know - seem to be the better option. |

Well , you can only speak as you find, Run 2 sets op Mack's on the hybrid with Simex and BFG's, not had a problem, The Simex set do get a beating as well

I also run a set of specially made 18" Mach 5s that have been used extensively off road and I have had no problems.

Don't get me wrong - As I said, I'd heard stories of Mach 5 problems but thats as far as my knowledge of them extends.
