    they're from Rakeway here in UK...they do 40mm also, but I think that would definately involve trimming!

    www.rakeway.co.uk

    Dont know if they do International shipping...cant see why not.

    Hi Foss, how have the spacers stopped the 265/75's from hitting the arches I thought if the wheels were further out they would have more chance of connecting....

    course it does...just as a lot of mods strain relating parts like suspension lifts etc...but as long as you expect it what the hell! It will have no worse effect than running offset rims that are made to push the wheel out further

    ps...it wasnt for looks...the weight I carry & the lift caused some instability off road..even the ACE couldnt cope with everything I was throwing at it so my aim is to rebalance the set up slightly.

    My new theory is for every 2" up, go about 1" out!
