New tires are Cooper Discoverer 285/70/17.

Looks good Geert! Make sure you get the blue stuff off the tyre lettering before it goes hard, a good spray from the hose should get it off.

Smart Looking Shorty you've got there Geert. What are the laws like in Belgium regarding your tyres protruding from the guards?

In Belgium its not legal that the tire is coming out of the guard.
Maybe I fit a fender flares like in link.

Blue stuff is off en the mudflap rubbing is fixed with help of the heater.

I think to remove the front mudflaps and replaced with 6mm insertion rubber because there is to much dirt and debris on door en sidestep.
When its go well I make a photo
