SailingTom,

Thanks, It was you who pointed them out on eBay Thumbs Up

Yours look stunning mate, I love the colour, I wanted that green but nothing I'm my price range.

I'm going to fit the hood and wheel at the same time. Need to add the tenax fasteners to the tub though!

Not the best photos but I finally got the time to fit the wheels and bigger tyres!

Just the rocksliders to fit & the led lights.

Love those Bowler wheels, they're on my list!
What size BFGs are those? 265 or 285? Tom

Hi Tom

The tyres are 265/65R18, the new BFG AT tyres are out soon but this size isn't launched until May next year I think Thumbs Up

Between adjusting the steering stops and the wheel offset you can actually get a decent turning circle too.

Thanks John, I'd rather have an M/T tyre although they don't make KM2s in 18" or not that I can find anyway. Big Cry
Did you order your wheels straight from Bowler or via a stockist? Tom

Hi Tom

I went direct to Bowler, they supplied the wheels and tyres as a package and beat the best tyre price I had. Jon Chester the brand director is great to deal with, I can PM his details if you like.

The only 18in MT tyres I have come across are the Cooper STT in 275/65R18

Haha never noticed that before Venomator Laughing

Must say that Tom's 90 has whetted the appetite for a summer soft top, might try and get the Mrs to chop her Q5 in for one from Urban Truck Razz
