Another eBay purchase.
5 wheels with 33 12.50 15 kumho mud terrain tyres on.
They rub the mudflaps a bit at some angles, and rub the chassis a wee bit on full lock and they could do with some spacers so they sit right as well.
I can tell they have lifted the thing a fair bit as i've had to recalibrate my leg to stop me kicking the sill when i get in!
I'm not long back in from driving through the 4 or 5 places i've been stuck in the past.
It feels unstopable off road now!
I'm one happy frontera owner!
I'm off work tomorrow so its getting engine oil and gearbox/transfer box oil change.
i'll see about ordering some spacers as well.

Kewl, 33's are next on my list. Great big mud eating boots.
With regards to spacers get the solid billet ones (usually around the £170 mark) that bolt to the hud and NOT the cheap ebay cast ones which use stud extensions. Studs can break and it has been known for the cast spacer to crack as well. Not good while your driving.

Sounds great, but make sure they clear the chassis on turning or fail the MOT.
