chop a bit off the back arch, theres a guide floating about somewhere.... i remember googling this in the past... got some "interesting" results!

31x 10.5 R15 (i have 2 very good tyres for sale at the mo...) are smaller than 235`s. the metric equivalent is about 255/75 15 as opposed to 235/85/R16

i`d go for a set of remould 235/75 R16`s, that way they wont last too long, and shouldnt need any messing. best to borrow a set and check by parking on a lesser vehicles bonnet (thus giving best articulation) then you can see where it catches. i use a railway sleeper and old kitchen appliances (usually some floating around the estate) to get some flex.

mark with chalk, then think about it, if it seems to be a good place to cut, get the angry grinder out!

who needs archs standard anyway cut them out it looks better and is way easier to clean under after anyway  :dance:

I am making the most of the fact somebody else has started this old chestnut and can't get the blame!

I have a 2" body lift. I have a full wheel arch chop. I am running standard length heavy duty springs with 40mm spring spacer platforms all round.

I want to know if I get MAXXIS MUDZILLA 35x13.50x15 (or possibly the MAXXIS CREEPY CRAWLER 35x12.50x15)  on 15x10 white modulars will they work for me? I do some quite rigorous green laning but no really extreme off roading (don't pay and play much).

I accept that I may need to consider extended bump stops to prevent touching inside the top of the arches.

My only concern is as to whether or not I will be able to get into top gear on the motorway as I already struggle because of all the extra weight I am carrying.
