So the interesting thing is going to be seeing if it all works when you get the 205/75s on

I'm also very interested in how this looks. Nice pics Halford, looking forward to seeing the new tyres and the gap between the top of the tyre and the rear wheel arch.

Halford I think if your 30mm spacers and tyres fit on your car without cutting the bumper I'm going to do similar but I'm thinking of getting the aluminium spacers from Zanfi to keep the weight down (possibly reducing wear on the king pins etc) and then before I fit them get the red anodising removed and gold hard anodising put on instead

to be honest, the excess load exerted on the king pins is negligable ... If you want to run wider wheels, then you need ones with a greater offset .. this has the same effect as spacers and standard wheels ... no in reality, spacers or wider wheels ... net result is no difference:P

The nice thing about doing it with spacers is that a 205/75 is still lower profile than a 215/75 or maybe even 205/70 so hopefully I can get a wider track AND a set of ATs without needing a lift.
