If you mean the wider arches, I think they are all much of a muchness, quite a few here have them fitted to cover 15x10 -32 offset wheels with wide tyres, which stick a couple of inches past standard arches. My main issue with them (keep thinking about getting them) is they look very 'industrial' with exposed screws holding them on. ---

For a time I was running 285/75 x 16 BFG KM2s on Boosts with 30mm spacers (making them 3mm offset) and Dirt Defenders made all the difference.

I would very much like to see a Defender with these attached. The pictures they have in the magazine adverts look identical to standard ones, eg: https://www.flatdoguk.com/defender-wide-arches-+30mm~2762 I am slightly sceptical that these are really +30mm over standard, if they really are then its a winner in my mind. 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

Bear in mind, you'll still have to cut the front wheel arches if you want to maintain the inner wing protection as these +30mm arches are only the external half of the arch. I had the same thing with the +50mm arches, |

Ah fiddlesticks. Thanks for the information. I wonder why on earth no one is doing a complete bolt on replacement in this style, how strange. 2005 Td5 90 XS 1989 V8 110 CSW |

@metalmatt, you definitely need bigger wheels with your Tomcat arches! I don't think these would look very good on anything but a severe off roader though.

@benniferj, what size are your wheels and tyres and are you running off set rims or spacers? Am busy saving up for a new set of rubber. My 90 is just an off road toy does about 1500miles a year if that, pay and play and greenlane trips. it used to sit bonnet deep in mud most weekends lol 1995 Land Rover Discovery 300tdi - Sold 1989 Land Rover 90 - Rebuilding/built - its a project 2002 Land Rover Discovery TD5 - Sold 2017 Mini JCW F56 - Current Daily Driver |
