Well it started off like This


Then i took sidesteps off and added some Surf alloys which made it look like this



And now i have just bought these

http://cgi.eebuygum.co.uk/ws/eebuygum.dll?ViewItem&item=280603134551&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT     (item has ended)

Paid a little bit more than i wanted to but still a bargain i reckon Wink

Thanks Matt and yes just spoke to him, I dont think he needs them, He said they should fetch a few quid on their own.

Well the 31/1050/15 tyres i was not happy with so i have gone back to what i know, Just been out today and got myself some 265/75/16 Insa Turbo Dakar's and put them back on the bighorn alloys

I'm a lot happier with these.

What was up with the 31's Dylan, did they appear to small once fitted.

I went for the 32, 1150 on the frontera rims and they look well chunky.

Sorry mate i missed this, Yes they were far too small, I expected them to be 31 inches but they were about 30 (just) didn't fill the arches at all plus i wanted the diff slightly higher. The Dakars measure at slightly under 32"

I nearly went for the 31 1050 thinking like you they would be 31" nearly as the 265/75/16 but read somewhere they were only 30" Confused , glad i read it and then went for the 32 1150, was a bit worried about putting them on a 7j rim but there fine. Very Happy  Very Happy
