Thanks, hope you understand that Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! I've got the same rims and tyres as you, same colour overland but CRD.. Thanks for leading the way!

With some modifications to the inner wheel wells, I think you could possibly fit 275/70R18s, (33.2" overall diameter and 10.8" wide) but I haven't tried yet.

Hope that helps!

Glad I could help! Would love to see some photos of your WK2, sounds like a good looking Jeep!

Thanks!

The WK2 is looking good, but I've got some more fun things planned. A new bull bar and snorkel as soon as they're available. A long range fuel tank and new custom steel rear bumper. But I'm also looking at headers, exhaust and maybe a supercharger. Something about the idea of 600hp makes me smile. Beyond that I'm no too sure. I've been talking to a few shops about a lift kit for the QL system, but as you can imagine it is a complex undertaking.

Same fabricator I'm working with to make the front tow hooks and front belly pan. I'm seeing him on June 11, so I should have some more details soon.
