215/75/15's are probably the limit with a standard TB and engine. Mine is OK but feels a little laboured and needs to be rev'ed a bit more to get it going.

I suppose that really depends how and where you drive it, I've got 235's on one of mine and it goes places discos can't even think about , whenever we go laning there's never any trouble doing any of the lanes and we've never needed any help on any lane before where discos with 35" tyres struggle(parkermoor in lakes and pheasants steps north we'd)

Looks good, i've been looking out for some 31's for mine for a while. You got a pic of the side view of the rear to see how close it gets to the front of the arch.

Yup will be there on sun, last time i went off road the tyres did rub a bit on the defender arches....should have put em on higher. Here's a couple pics from side, so far as I can tell so far they don't rub on the body atall.

What did you use to plug the holes in the body from the body mouldings clips?

Those tyres look huge! Looking good though mate!
