Vertical clearance is fine, drove it around in circles forwards & backward no rubbing at all now. Been bouncing it over speedbumps this afternoon nothing touches,

For the front arch I got a bit of 2 x 2 and cut to length, pushed it between the arch liner and the front hub with the wheel off, so the arch liner was forced to beyond where I wanted it to be, then with a heat gun went all around the "gills" area getting it hot, but not melting when I was happy removed the heat and let it cool with the wood in place, I think 10 minutes tops.

So, does that mean an L322 wheel will fit a new Defender then?

Not so simple as the ET differs by 15mm. Defender wheel on L322 means the track extends by 15mm on each side so not much of a problem.

Cheers. Excuse my ignorance but what does ET mean?

Not sure, something in French I think. Its the distance between the centre of the wheel rim and the mating face of the wheel to hub vertically in mm

Disco 5 alloys on my 2004, 9.5" wide, 21" wheels, do fill the arches, with no rubbing....

I know it's only been a few days, but how has it been living with these so far? I have the opportunity to bag an unused set of 5 for less than it costs a set of tyres normally! |
