Got my new 15x8 wheels (zero offset) fitted with the winter tyres and bolted on.

Really fills out the arches and looks a bit meaner than when it was sitting on its alloy wheels.

No rubbing in normal driving (and not an issue as no plans to off-road just yet) just wanted to be ready for the snow!

Photos as attached:





All the best

MS


Wheels look awesome mate :)

Nah I doubt a file would fit.

I used a strip of sandpaper cut about a half inch thick.
Stuffed it through and used a sort of see saw motion, pulling over the part the belt runs over.

I haven't looked yet but isn't it just a pressed fit? Can't it be popped out with a scredriver?

Maybe a grease up of the mechanism will help to.

I still have a reasonable gap.

Took the metal frame off the front soft top, was pleased to see it was in fairly good condition. Gave it a wire brushing and a good coat of hammerite :)

Replaced all the standard bushes on my pro comp shocks with a full jimnybits kit. Hoping "warn bushes" never appears on my MOT advisory ever again, :-)

Used a large socket and a g clamp to wind the old ones out and put a bit of washing up liquid on the new bushes and metal inserts and they slipped straight in, :-)
