I thought people that havent got spacers or wider wheels might like to see the difference between standard and with the 32mm spacers. Sorry about the picture quility, they were taken on my phone!

Looks good.
What size tyres are those?
The 4th picture looks like a fair bit of tread is further out than the wheel arch but the 5th doesn't, do they stick out much?

Thanks Goatboy, I was surprised by the difference they make. They do stick out a bit but not too much, just the perfect amount! The tyres are YOKOHAMA GEOLANDAR A/Ts 205-70-15

Thats good then! Don't want an MOT failure (although you could just take them off for the MOT :woohoo: )

I dont think they stick out enough to fail. Rough Country even do 38mm :ohmy:

IIRC its the tread itself that can't stick out by a certain amount, my tyres stick out but about 10mm but not the actual tread itself.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

How much are spacers for these?
Do they include bolts too?
Can you reuse the OEM wheel bolts?

I thought they wouldn't fail an Mot anyway. Isn't it a police/road traffic offense not an Mot?

Like Martin said - I've got the 32mm spacers and bigger offset steels + 225's which gives about an inch of tyre/ 3/4 inch of tread sticking out with my AT's and the MOT guy said they don't care as long as there is no sign of rubbing!! If the wheels foul the body/rubbing marks its a fail. Haven't been pulled by the police so can't comment on that part.
