thanks in advance - I nearly bought some remould crap because of the info I got
I have 7.50R16 tyres on my standard height 4 door Range Rover. These measure at around 31.5" but are narrower than 31x10.5x15s.
The only contact points I've had are the front edges of the rear guards (massaged slightly), the front radius arms & a very occasional touch on the front lower edge of the front guards (usually N/S).
It might be an option for you.
They are sold as 31's but are a bit bigger so they did rub the r/arms too but I adjusted the stops.
Yes it is stock height after I fitted the 31'S the RRC height rose exactly 2" which is good from a legal standpoint in WA.
Yes they are on 15" rims but that will not make any difference as a 31" tyre is a31" tyre on a 15" rim or 16" rim. Just more options I believe for manufacturers on 15" rims.
*** I have had to trim the around the arches the bits that where bent and re-fit the flares. I had to take quite a lot of the front arches.
Thanks for that!! Just so I understand correctly, did you have to file down the arches or grind them back a bit & then fit flares?
Grind back and fit flares.Quote:

Have a look at the pic it might make it clearer
awesome!! thanks for that... was not sure if you were all talking about actually doing that :) looks like I get to have some fun this weekend!! :)
where can I get wheel arch flares from?
Index 4WD Gear - Bushranger
Thats where :)
Resellers are Aus wide, ARB & even autobarn :)
they are identical to the ones I got, different brand but look the same.Quote:

Then the tyres rub on the inside of the wheel arch (that is, they tuck under but hit at the top). If you mean they rub in front of the tyre (directly fowards) then mine don't (but its very close - maybe 15mm).
Wouldn't a 2" lift solve the problem (and the Rangie could stay in one piece)? ;)
I depends on the offsett of the rims, if you want the same size on 16" rims then 265/70/16's are basically the same size and fit without a lift or guard cutting. I have 15x8 rims on my rangie and due to the offsett they would just hit the front of the rear guard but have since lifted and fitted flares ready for 33's.
