That was a lad from Livingston, they were land rover defender wheels, they had the bolt holes enlarged to fit and were pretty dodgy!

They need properly modified to safely fit.

Not fitted the wheels yet, got to get the centres done and the ditch finders fitted, upon test fitting mine are going to protrude about 30mm so need to widen the arches, gonna use some rubber for now to stay legal till I can cut n weld the arches, Mr Airthies has his fitted and they don't look too bad.
