Have been reading previous posts on this topic, generally deciding on a 50/50  attitude towards them. Just checking that they do fit series trucks? I am aware of the extra strain on drive trains, steering and wheel / swivel bearings. Do they affect the turning circle? thanks

They do fit series trucks. Turning circle should be improved.

The land rover drive train/bearings etc are sufficiently over engineered to cope with the added strain of either spacers or offset wheels.

If you've got larger tyres, you will need arch flares.

AbyssDJ:
think tbm has said all there is to say really :) should fit fine... and you wont get any more extra strain than you would with offset rims anyway.

ian_s:
if you fit spacers AND offset rims, then you are asking for trouble
i'm running rims with about 70mm greater offset than standard on my series3, with no problems.

Artwigwa:
Thinking of spacers myself  :? But wheres best place to get some, not alloy ones though  :shock:
