The Palmer's 120

Casey's got it, 285/70/17 Mickey Thompson P3's on Dick Cepek polished/ gun metal grey Torque's.

A bit louder than the old Cooper At3's, but the package looks superb in comparison.

Jeez, she's getting blinged out now!

A bit more clearance as well!

Looks good, buddy!

It'll almost be a shame to get them dirty...

Nah, got new UCA's, I think from memory he got 285/70/17's

Funny you should mention the new UCA's - they were quickly noticed by swmbo: "What are those new silver bits", reply "Yeah, well, umm, I did get a little more than just the wheels and tyres..."

The correct response should be "I needed that due to the lift or the tyres will wear unevenly."

Lots of Begging.:-D


I've still got a bit of work to do to the mudflaps, as the tyres touch at full lock, but only thing other than the wheels & tyres that's been done to fit them so far is the UCA's and wheel alignment. The team at North West Off Road fitted it all and also adjusted the rear wheel carrier for the new spare (plus adjusting the rear wiper so it would clear the larger spare).

Haha about the begging! I would be the same...

What UCA's did you end up going with? I think next set of shoes will be 285's for my rig also. No doubt diesel economy would be slightly worse with the increase in diameter.

Awesome looking Palmer!

What offset are the rims?

Went with Superior Engineering UCA's, basically because they were easily on hand. I figure the economy will suffer, but I'm hoping that will be more than made up for with the increase in the fun factor.

Thanks, I really like it
The rims are a +6 offset.

Whoops got the size wrong.
So what has that done to your speedo? How far out is it now?

Looks like you will be the leader of the harder routes on the GTG now.

Looking forward to see it in person.

Thats a fair increase. No wonder it looks like a lot more clearance.

Not sure at moment, when I remember to take the gps with me I will check, although it was reading high before so don't know byhow much off it will be now
