Standard height. I think they look perfect on a 110 but thinking they may be too big for a 90, hoping to see.

Thank you for the photos. That dude must be strong, pulling Defenders over the ridge with his bare hands! Rolling with laughter James

These are on standard height 90, before I changed them.

Thanks all so far. Pux was there a reason, other than being worn, for changing them?

Keep the photos coming please Very Happy James

The main reason was they were worn, I put my 265/75/16 on just because I had a set in the garage. 2007 2.4 90 fettled & remapped.

Thanks JST, from memory it was All Wheel Trim but the 90 was sold 5 years ago so difficult to check. The only complaint was that it used popper studs to attach to the body and they were forever coming undone. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

I like the 255/85/R16 a lot more than the 235 I had before.
Blackwolf kindly pointed me in the right direction with the 255's last year.

There is no need for spacers either, and the lock stops aren't bad at all to adjust.

They have a better footprint and much better ride to them, and I'd say better off road too.
I'm using Dynabeads in mine.

And keep an eye on tyre pressures as they can get a bit wallowy if pressures get a little lower than they should be.
