What is your suspension height Mike?

777mm is correct .....
Suspension height on my ride is as follows....

"Measured from the centre of the mag wheel to the top of the wheel arch"

(Passenger side) FRONT = 460mm .... REAR = 490mm


I have the original front bottom skirt fairing and the 265/70x16 clears the edge of the fairing by 15mm. The 265 also fits in the wheel arch area with no need for cutting or "Tubbing" ... The 265 sits / fits nicely on the original LR mag.
I would luv to fit the 295 wide tyre ... But would have to tub the wheel arches + mod the rear doors (and buy the 8+" rims)



I see that you do not have the front bottom fairing fitted, so I recon you could "jerrrrrrst" fit the 265/70x17's ... (but you would need to articulate the suspension to ensure nothing catches / touches)

Go to Ian Diffen in Collier road Morley, (Green building Between Toyota and Missus Macs Pie factory) ask for Peter ... mention another "RRC fanatic" and he will cheerfully accommodate a prefit (I do it to them every time) and tell em "No rattle Gun" for nut tightening :)

Thanks Mike,

Ok I talked to Procomp Australia who are the agents for Walker Evans wheels.
He said they have made them to suit the Rangie before and I have to decide on a tyre width for them to determine the correct backspacing. I'd like em to be pretty wide but that'll probably mean fitting flares which, I'm not opposed to, I'd rather not cut body panels though.
