thanks, one less job to worry about then
i may well tippex "real" speed limit points onto speedo, for peace of mind!

Put some 33" tyres on it. That'll fix it.

I'd start with 31's mate as other wise you'll need body lift and 2" suspension lift, depends how MAD FOR IT you are

Get some 7x15 Mitsubishi shogun steel rims (-25 offset) then get some 31 10.5 15 tyres

Oh and do a 2" lift, which u can do for less than £40 here:

cheers chaps, something for the future perhaps, mainly because shes got loads left on the tread front of things, and partly because i'm a bit skint after chrimbo!
how do they handle with a body lift? i was hoping to put wheel spacers on too, any one know how wide i can go without having longer bolts fitted?
thanks again, mike.

Don't bother with spacers, neg offset rims, shogun wheels and import hilux surf rims are -15 to -25

What do you want spacers for ?

Body lift not needed until u go up to 33"

Start with 2" suspension lift and remove rear anti roll bar for better rear axle articulation

I have no rear ARB and 2"suspension lift and I still hit roundabouts at 70mph, poly bush the front arb helps tho

i thought the extra width might help handling somehow? being a bit wider like?
the 4wd appears to be working as we took it in a bit of mud earlier, purely for research you see :lol
