Show and tell time. Wider wheels and arches

Show and tell time.
Have you put wider wheels on your fronty and fitter bigger arches if so what arches have you used.

I've fitted wider wheels on my fronty ( 10j rims with 33 12.50 15 mud tyres ) so they stick out from the arches.

Has anyone looked at welding on swb rear aches? Because it looks like your front wheels are ok?

I did think about it. I even worked out how to make it work with the rear doors. But just do t have the time to it. So I will leave that for a later date. For now I've bought a set of Land Rover wide fender flares that I will fit soon.
