Hi all, just fitted 32mm spacers to my sj410, it has the smaller plastic arches fitted but the tyres protrude upto 1" looking from above, is this legal? I have trawled many forums and seems to be a grey area that it would pass an mot ok but plod may think different. Any answer please, thanks Richard.

If you get a copper on a bad day (or a jobs worth) he will pull you for it. It's a non-endorsable (no points but fixed penalty fine) offence. Code 380 under construction and use regs. "No wing/mudguard fitted"

But he's you are correct it will pass an MOT as it is not covered in the MOT.

As far as I'm aware you can have the sidewall bulging out but all tread surface that makes contact with the road must be covered, I've never had any issues with a few mm of tread sticking out slightly.

extended arches to be safe in my opinion

my disco and suzuki the wheels stick out a little with the extended arches mr plod aint pulled us yet!

Might help if it was actually driven on road

And they can't dear to look at the Land Rover long enough to notice.

If you like the look leave it pal. If you like extended arches get some on and you will be all legal

I run 235/75x15 on 7" alloys that stick out about 1" with the offset. They look cool and I have never had any bother from the cops

Mine stick out about a inch and never had any hasstle from it will have to go wide arches with new tyers tho 4inch sticking out wont go down well

This is what mine looks like 410 axles 32mm solid spacers and 235/75/15 tyres
