Morning chaps,
I am about to order some wheel spacers for the truck, do I get 20mm 25mm or 30mm alloy spacers?

I want them for the new wheels & tyres I recently got, 265 70 16 mud trackers, are they going to stick the tyres out too much if I get the 30mm?

Man of horns ......... if you have a shufty in my gallery you'll see how much I had to trim to get 265/75/16 mud tyres on with 30mm spacers

Got 30s on mine. Look in the Camo thread to see what they look like, but you'll need a box of Kleenex handy.

Lord Lemmy, I ran out of kleenex, so I used 18 rolls of Andrex instead! lol

Now I have got my spacers on, I think I need some Man size Kleenex now or another 36 rolls of Andrex!

I was happily fitting the new Wheels & spacers until I couldnt get one of the wheels on??? Try as I may it would not seat onto the stud??? Thats when I noticed one of the holes was blocked, I thought it was a broken stud stuck in the wheel, so I sprayed it with WD40 and got a hole punch. a quick tap & it turned out to be silicon???? very strange lol

Anyway Heres some Tyre Porn!

Thanks matey, I am totally in love with them, has changed the dynamics of the truck, drives real nice, a little bit of tyre noise (which I kinda like) & I swear the truck feels higher? Going on a motorway jaunt today to Northhampton to pick up two more alloy wheels with Bridgestone duellers on that I won on Ebay for 21quid! (At that price I could not resist & can keep or flog on)

BTW what was with the silicone, I guess you already know you have a stud missing mate?

Looks smart bud

Horny, are they the 30mm bulldog spacers? They're subtle, but the overall effect on the stance of the truck is just so.

I got Geolandars in the standard size on the Beast Of Camo and had to trim about 5mm off the front bumper.

They most certainly are Bulldogs my Lord, I love them, It was them or Carlos Fandango 50mm spacers, I chose wisely me thinks.
