If you're wanting the offset wheels, I think Rhino Ray still does them.
I have them on mine and in my mind, much better than spacers, especially the hollow cast ones. (In my opinion, others like them?)

£35 each. :)

Widens track by 90mm.

dirtydogz this may sound daft but are your wheels off set,im thinking if ther not that would mean you have the extra width equeled out eather side of a standard rim,but yours look offset

and on the lift side of things for 1.5 inch is ther any kits for not much more money than lifting with spring spacers etc,and are they any good,just wondering wether its worth spending a bit more then it doesnt give a harder ride as people have reported after fitting spacers.

These are all I have at the moment from when I first bought it.
It has a 2" spring lift and 205/75R15 Recip Trial Tyres.
I can't get newer pics yet as the Jim is in one or two bits in a 'tight for space' garage at the moment. :(

Tyres are just about level with the edge of the wheel arches, as in very little of the tyre 'sticks out'.
