So you cant fit them then.....

Do you honestly think you have a viable argument here when speaking to one of the various transport agency approved engineers...?

If I remove all the brackets from a Unimog diff I could fit those, but what relevance is that to this?

Soooo, what I'm getting from this is that having removed the 235/85 R16's and Wolf Steel wheels from my 130, and am now running 285/75 R16's on 1" wider Compomotive Alloys is probably illegal....? Whoops. Well, I'm not about to change them back!!!:D

For anyone in the future interested, the part number for the Defender tyre placard that is the most similar to the D2 is LR023779.

So what is the outcome on this?

Have you gained engineering certification for 33's on a D2?
