Wheel spacers
Thinking of getting some to make the cars stance look a bit better, currently have the standard 19 HSE alloys with 255/55/19 general grabber x3 fitted, now I’m not too sure on the size to go for, I was thinking 25 mm would be enough for the look I’m after
Any advice regarding which to get and any negatives to fitting them

Have you checked total offset including spacers? Simply moving existing wheels further out will increase load on wheel bearings, and create an error in steering geometry.
Maybe a good idea to check with your insurers.Chris

Insurance will cover anything you ask them to in most cases. For a charge of course. But when I think back to my off road defender, jeeese. That had more mods than anything and they didn’t bat an eyelid.
