157155157158157153157154 If any one would like to see what the Tuffant 18 MK11 wheels look like with Cooper AT3 LT 265 65 R18 on My D5

See the photos below The best thing about them is the ride improvement now I have some decent sidewalls

The Steel Rims are heavy at about 18kgs I think and add a very heavy tyre I feared that the disco would be sluggish on take off but I needn't have worried, cannot tell the difference.

Should be able to climb pretty much anything now.

Sorry the Photos were the correct orientation on my PC but when I uploaded them they turned 90 degrees and I can find no tool to rotate them so I some one can help me out there for next time it would be much appeciated

What is the bull bar? ECB?

Yes, it is an ECB, its the only one available at this stage for a D5 that I know of. It is totally integrated for all of the sensors and cameras, but, it does not support a winch. You can also take off the front under fairing so the hard point recovery hoop is accessible as you cannot see the fairing/cover any more with the bar fitted.

It is actually very strong and I think that it looks OK too, but I was worried before I had it fitted definitely adds a ruggedness to the car . Fitted the UHF now spots will come later.

If you are going to be using this car out bush, as I intend to, you need to have a bar as this vehicle is super prone to animal strike.
