While I agree with most of the comments in this topic, I think something should be added.
First many of us use wider tyres because that's what's available when you want a taller tyre. A taller tyre ... |

Just my 2c.
Iv'e gone progressively bigger in wheel offset over the years. +33, +8, -9 and now -25mm.
The Land Rover community is culturally very adverse to big wheel offsets, which is not always ... |

JOW240725,
Yes, I used to run Wolfs with hubcentric spacers.
Quite a nice setup.
Ended up swapping the Wolfs and spacers for 16x8j -25mm offset rims. Wanted a wider rim and a wider track. Spacers ... |

| Sorry, but I fail to understand how modifying an already sensitive structural component and then end up with a different front and rear track is preferred to run a few mm off the inside of a pair of ... |

Just shave the arches a bit.
Mine needed a good shaving with the 255/85R16 on the -25mm offset rims.
You can't really notice they were modified |

Just came back from the obstacle track. It was partially flooded but fun as well.
I'm amazed by the diffs. They just work, even in severe axle twisters. When a wheel is really leaving the ground (y ... |

Getting stuck in the cross axle going over the boulder got me a little worried. I tried to apply left foot braking the best I knew with no results.
This is not the kind of obstacle I usually do, but ... |

Hi all,
Been using the ATBs front and rear since last friday.
Very pleased with them on the road, car feels much more stable and the return to center feel is very nice. My steering wasn't awful, ... |

Hi all,
Had a good deal of upgrades lately.
First got new wheels and ditched the spacers. Went for 16x8 steels, -25mm offset. To be fair, spacers never gave me problems but I prefer the simplici ... |

Yeah, I hope so. Those things weren't cheap, a single air locker would have been much less, since I already have onboard air installation.
But they were a much easier investment to justify with th ... |

Those Nakatenga wheels look nice. If they were -25 offset you could get me into trouble.
The guys at Raptor have a special Wolf wheel with ET0 offset, but still 16x6,5.
IMO, genuine LR steel whe ... |

I went with KM2 because I got a killer deal for the 6 units.
Otherwise would probably opt for the Toyos.
They're tougher and people say they're better offroad at speed. They're also true 33,5" ... |
