i'm only running 33" with a 2" lift.
i don't have the inner arch showing but i did have the guard plate for the filler pipe showing but the tyre has put that in order :lol:
how have you done the inner rear arch i was caching there and the top of the arch.

i have done mine the same as yours i will have a mess about with it when im completely finished and see what catches where and see what i can do to sort it.
the filler/mudgaurd brackets on mine had to be removed as they protruded a fair bit so ive got to make a couple of brackets to fix the bottom of the rear wings

Did they rub on your front bumper? I have a tight bend by my house with a steep camber and it would just catch. I cross axled it deliberately to see how much I needed to trim and bent the winch bumper.

yes i cut the bumper to start with so it sort of matched the shape of the arches and it rubed with about quarter of a turn so tonight i fitted my +2 springs and it still rubs so time to get the saw out again as for spare i was going to cut and weld the wheel holder but even thats been got by tin worm!! how did you mount yours?

I have a 51 plate with 4" lift and running 33's at present but need to get bigger tyres.
Where did you get arches and wheels from and what was damage if you don't mind.
Been searching but struggling.

the wheels and tyres were £550 from gaurdian for replied to my wanted thread and even delivered them in person (although he did drive in to some deep norfolk mud then engaged difflock which moved the earths crust which caused last nights earthquake) and the arches came from paddocks for £195 all in.
if your strugling to find what your after im sure theres some helpfull people here that can point you in the right direction :)

Hi
I already had a Devon 4x4 raised spare wheel carrier so it went straight on.
As for the money side of things, since I've put them on I've bought +2 spacers to give a 4" lift, not the best way I know a body lift would be better but time and money are in short supply, because of the 4" lift I now have wide angle props, the extended bump stops now need to be extended again with spacer blocks, brake lines were already +6 so they are ok. All in all another expensive journey!
