Wheel offset
Looking to replace the standard LR boosts for a wheel with a greater off set in order to improve the turning circle on the 110 and better looks. Tyres are 265 x 75 x 16 fitment which I want to keep.

Any ideas and examples (pictures would be good)

How it will look will also depend on wheel width and tyre size....There are countless options, looks and functionality....For starters....

10" width wheel, 40mm offset and a 11.5" width tyre on a 15" wheel...

Them wheels are Mach 5's if you want to achieve the same/similar look with 16 x 8 wheels ZU do a 38mm offset in that size. Mach 5s are like hen's teeth and are made of steel. ZUs are alloy but with a similar look. Modulars are your cheapest option obviously.

Mine nearest on Mach 5s, Fekete's behind on modulars. You could also 'pm' him for advice! Thumbs Up
