To me that looks like a 2 inch lift that has been nicely done because the car is sitting level front to back.

i don't think those wheels are 16" mind, looks like its got the same wheels as mine, which are 15" with fatter tyres. just to give it the impression its been lifted. Those wheels are horrid on the road I found. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

The tyres are not 70mm side wall. 70 is a percentage.
So the side wall height is 70% of 265. 👍 |

I know the rim size is in inches, but in a earlier post he said 70mm side wall. that's wrong.
