--- Quote from: "SteveG" ---As you say Ian you have put spacers on.

The turning circle is not as good with Boosts on and hence why they are not as good off-road IMHO

I can't say the turning circle ever bothered me....
The reason I fitted the wheel spacers is because when twisted up, one of the rear wheels (the side with the suspension compressed) would touch the rear spring mount - well brush against it.

The added benefit was the improvement in turning circle.... not that much different though, but slightly better.

And it looks better with wheel spacers  :wink:  8)

SteveG:
what tyre size and width are you running? It would be certainly noticeable on 33", 255 or wider tyres

Steve :)

I run 265/75's on mine with the boosts and cant say i have a problem with the turning circle, its a defender, the turning is ment to be crap!

SteveG:
Hey look guys, if you are happy with it that's fine - just made what I thought was a helpful suggestion and a way to fund HD halfshafts :)

Steve :)

smo:
Always glad for any suggestions steve, but on an 04 plate like mine the sale of the alloys would certainly have a big detramental effect on the resale value of the vehicle so i'm keeping them for now.

Ads for the shafts, i dare say one out of warranty in a years time when i break them i'll go ashcroft or other HD shafts, til then LR pay so i'm not overly fussed!  8)
