the 225's should fit on the 8.5J rims a lot better than on the 7.5J rims

Hi Lloyd55vrs - not sure but those back wheels look to be outside the arches a bit - coppers could have a field day if they pulled you over for that I think  :peek:

That's alright. Lloyd only does about 50 miles a year.

 

How many you got on the odometer now, Lloyd?

[Lloyd55vrs]

Rims poke but the tyre tread is in the under arch loop hole ish

Mots say nothing

That would be my excuse for new wheels tho lol

That said it prob wouldnt be the wheels theyd be concerned with hehe

[Lloyd55vrs]

When not directly looking its abit more subtle tho

[Lloyd55vrs]
