I have that size on the car from when I bought it and will be going a wee bit smaller ASAP.

There were a few negative comments about a month ago on here.

Can you mod the wheel arch liners to prevent rubbing? What if spacers were run?

Spacers would probably work if they were legal.

Fitted mud flaps today. Had a look behind the front arches to see if I could find something to bolt to. Nothing but dirt and dead leaves! I suggest anyone to undo the arches and give them a clean! God knows how long all this has been festering. I'm lucky I live in a hot dry climate up ere! God knows what people have got in their d4s in the south!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...58f94bb732.jpg

True.

Having cut a few 265/60-18 tyres apart to look at their construction - several of the XL tyres are easily as strong as the LT

Three new Maxxis LT 19” (replaced the Cooper LTZ spare as well).

Also replaced the Britpart door actuator with a genuine one. Back to a lovely actuating door handle versus the stiff hard clunking OEM unit.

Pulled out the middle 2nd row seat and installed the Waeco in its place as per previous posts in this thread.
Took an hour or so, and the usual loss of a bit of skin and blood. Happy with the result, and more importantly, so is SWMBO.

I do this each trip as well and switch it back on my return (I need the seats normally). It’s a great mod.

You can get eye bolts from a hardware store that fit in the seat bolt threads M8 I think. Blocks the holes and you can strap down the fridge.
