Defender 110 suspension and tyre recommendations

I am running 255's and minimal (1-2") lift on all the 110's I had and never looked back. OME springs, which I prefer over other brands and Sawtooth wheels so no spacers required. Gearing improves for my driving. Only changes I will made is swapping the OME shocks. m

How do you like these? I was going to get them but thought they brought the mudflaps up and forward.

No complaints, mud stays off the outriggers and door handles and I have had the rear wheel arches repainted. No worries.

If you have the factory front flap set up its probably good enough if running standard offset and tyres. But its still worth plugging the gap under the inner arch that exposes the outriggers.

No problems with position, they are fairly rigid, dont hang too low and angle away from the tyre. I Havent ripped one off yet. But if you're into rock crawling you'd probably want to add some quick disconnects or pull back fasteners.
