On what wheels and/or spacers?
changing the track with will also effect how the tyrescatch the wheel archs


This was to fit tyres measuring 33x10.50 with 7mm negative offset wheels so you shouldn't need to trim as much as this

Wheel arches trimmed with nibbler + grinder. 50mm radius increase all round


conveyor belt extensions held on using angle barkets + rinvuts so can be easily removed/altered. The tyres stuck out past the body a bit too far without them


I find the first part to catch on bigger tyres was the section of inner body just inside of the rear doors that sticks down towards the tyre. This got pruned to half its origional height and doubled over which gave more than enough clearance.

have a quick look here: http://www.lrboards.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=52&t=7818&start=45

and a couple of pics.........




all i did was trim the internal lip up around an inch and only needed to cut the door enough to clear the tyre as you can see in the pic.



on the front i did cut a considerable amount off and then folded a lip into it so there was no sharp edge.



it doesn't sit too badly, and because the wheels haven't got a massive offset i don't need huge arch extensions to cover them. small loss in turning circle but not too bad.
