wheel spacers

knowing my luck the snow will be completely gone before I get them fitted!

Aye they look nice and grippy, lets pray for more snow eh?

Hi Jammer Seen your landy today in the flesh at the tesco roundabout she is looking good with the wheels and tyres do you fancy giving her a try up in brahn next month

Cheers, aye I wouldn't mind, depends what day it is though. you'd have seen it with the spacers on too, they make a difference. Tackling changing the timing belt and cam gear tomorrow... weather permitting

Its on the 5th of April i change the date up on the pay and play day catagory.
Good luck with the timing belt and cam gear sure the weather will be fine

I will give you a PM near the time

Cheers mun

Well im also going to get some wheel spacers so look out bearings here i come but it will stop my tyres rubbing maybe even get wider tyres when i get some.

Ran wheelspacers then deep dish rims on mine for years and not had any big problems with wheel bearings failing due to load. Contamination or too loose / too tight is what wrecks them. Fit genuine seals (the rubber on some of the pattern ones is poor and not pliable enough)
For LRs, there's an older part number for some hubs which is double-lipped. Also if swivel ball seals are good, remove the halfshaft seals, fill with oil and let it run through the swivel into the wheelbearing (instead of grease). Oil also quickly lets you know if you have a failed seal (grease doesn't). If dirt / water gets in, drop the oils and refill.

Nice one Tom i have been looking for wheels on the internet with a deep dish so i could get some and fit them to my disco but i am not having much luck finding a site.
Where did you get your wheels from Tom ?
I dont mind if i have to cut the disco arches to get the wheels and tyres to fit just want to get more axle clearance those stumps in Brahn are a killer and can stop you dead in your tracks.
Also going higher is going to have less of my disco draging through the mud and being able to go more places.

They're 15x10 Mangel 8 spokes, got them from Nene Valley but quite a few places sell them. Will work nicely with any tyre 12.5" or wider (for good floatation). They come as standard rims (I did the beadlock conversion later on).

Thanks Tom sure i will catch up with you on Sunday if you are going.
