Hodge's new 4.2

**Hodge** · 11th November 2015, 05:58 PM

Put a set of new shoes on. Mickey Thompson P3's in 285/75/16 on a set of black rims. Also painted the rusty hubs as it looked bad with new rims on. Just have to fix the front hubs now looks pretty shit.

That looks great mate! Heard lots of good reports on those tyres also. What offset rims did you get?

I have a basic set at home 5-12mm or there a bouts. Comes in handy for all sorts of chassis bolts that want to be a PITA. Just run the tap through the hole and it cleans out all the rust, corrosion, dirt and all manner of other crap that makes like difficult, then you can just run the bolt in by hand most times.

Thanks mate. Great tires, I had the same set, same size on my 3L as well. It is a -22 offset on 16x8" rims.

Problem fixed. John didn't muck around and made some plates to suit the occasion. Perfect fit !
