The arches aren't anything special. If I remember correctly they are terrafirma ones. The quality is ok. I don't actually like them but they are needed to cover the tyres. http://www.johncraddockltd.co.uk/accessori...trips.html I dont think they do mach 5 wheels that are 10" wide with such a negative offset. I could be wrong though. If you want this exact setup then the details of wheel/tyre are a few posts back.

 I think it's great. It should be made a sticky as I'm sure it's one of the most asked questions for defenders. Unfortunately other forums aren't as friendly and most questions regarding wheels and tyres receive a hostile answer along the lines of "feck off and google it!" This attitude on other forums unfortunately results in hundreds of posts and google search results where people who want help cant find anything other than abuse for people asking the question. Hopefully this thread will become a magnet for those people. |

Although I've been around a number of Land Rover forums [and newgroups prior to that] for quite a few years I appreciate the heads up..... Steve.

Thank you Lucifus! I just read everything about your setup - very informative
Mach 5 are 16x8 with -25 offset (if I remember corectly?) I would use 30mm spacers and it would give me similar result I guess. I also think this tread is awesome - each year new people buy their first Defenders and looking for informations that for others might be answered 1000 times
