Thumbs Up knew that was the answer, the modulars already have loads of offset, they are probably an 08mm or 00mm whereas std LR wheels are 33mm.

If you had 30mm spacers on 00mm offset wheels - yours were sticking out 63mm more than std Shocked

Looking at the pics in your gallery, the back of the 90 looks very low so maybe it's your springs and shocks that are tired and sagging.


If you are looking at these pic's the old wheels and tyres are still in the back of the landy as we took these pic's on the way back from paddocks and having the wheels and tyres all swapped over in matlock literally just down the road from paddocks as with the back empty now the landy sits straight Smile Graham

Yeah I wasn't sure about the spacers as they was on the car when we bought it as it had freestyles on it with spacers so rather than take the spacers off when we bought the insa's we thought it looked better with them on and saw a few defender's with similar tyres on and they stuck out like ours did so thought it was ok but we are glad now we took the spacers off Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Very Happy Graham
