Default 35x12.50 Tires / 2in Lift 2020 Defender


I wanted to show you guys how I pulled this off! The video below shows what I needed to do to get it ready for the 35x12.50r20 tires and 30mm spacers!


I did a little more trimming and cut down the front portion of the inner fender well liner last night and that will be covered in a future video but now it is 100% good to go! Let me know what you think and any suggestions you have!

Very cool video.

I'd not have the stones to take a reciprocating saw to my Defender but I'm just a big girl's blouse.

Shame you didn't switch to an 18" rim with a smaller offset. You'd probably not need the spacers and wouldn't have contact with the rear bumper from the spare. Nearly doubles your sidewall gain too.

With the lift rods and big wheels I'd worry about not being able to be towed in the event of a suspension failure. You'd have to be dragged out as the wheels can't rotate with the frame pancaking the wheels. .

But what the hell do I know.

Again. Very enjoyable videos mate. Great to see someone so enthusiastic making great content. Hats off.
