Not the best photos but I finally got the time to fit the wheels and bigger tyres!
Just the rocksliders to fit & the led lights. Click image to enlarge Cheers 2006 Defender Double Cab- Zambezi Silver |

Love those Bowler wheels, they're on my list!
What size BFGs are those? 265 or 285? Tom @tditomprice 100” Defender Hybrid 2010 Alaska White 90 HT |

Hi Tom
The tyres are 265/65R18, the new BFG AT tyres are out soon but this size isn't launched until May next year I think Between adjusting the steering stops and the wheel offset you can actually get a decent turning circle too.

Thanks John, I'd rather have an M/T tyre although they don't make KM2s in 18" or not that I can find anyway. Did you order your wheels straight from Bowler or via a stockist? Tom @tditomprice 100” Defender Hybrid 2010 Alaska White 90 HT |

Hi Tom
I went direct to Bowler, they supplied the wheels and tyres as a package and beat the best tyre price I had. Jon Chester the brand director is great to deal with, I can PM his details if you like. The only 18in MT tyres I have come across are the Cooper STT in 275/65R18 http://www.coopertire.co.uk/tyres/off-road...overer-stt Cheers John 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon 1971 Bowler Tomcat 88 4.2 V8 Auto 2022 110 D250 XS Edition - Gone 2024 110 D250 X-Dynamic HSE |

Haha never noticed that before Venomator
Must say that Tom's 90 has whetted the appetite for a summer soft top, might try and get the Mrs to chop her Q5 in for one from Urban Truck I was about to pull the trigger on a set of black Twisted rims until one of the local gangsters turned up with a set on their blue 110 2014 110 2.2TDCi XS Station wagon 1971 Bowler Tomcat 88 4.2 V8 Auto 2022 110 D250 XS Edition - Gone 2024 110 D250 X-Dynamic HSE |
