KUMHO 235/85/16 - Mud Tread on std Hight disco

(1/3) > >>

WoodyWolf:
Hi Guys, just like to say hello and ask My first question.
I,ve Just fitted HD standard springs with std shocks to my 94 200tdi, to compensate for my hd bumper, rocksliders and tank guard. Would the above tyres fit without a Lift and if so how much cutting would a 5 door need. I know a lift would be prefered but i've just spent the money on the other springs and shocks.

Cheers.

Dr Neil:
i think you will struggle without a 1"lift minimum with those tyres. I have a 2"lift on mine and still had to cut a fair amount out of the arches even then. You could try fitting spacers under the springs and lowered shock mounts/turrets so as you can still use your standard components but you will still probably encounter problems.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news

blackbob:
if they dont fit i will look after them for u :lol:  :lol:

hi question for neil i have just put bearmach lifted springs on i notice you have put bigger springs on the back , my springs were idenitical size. ome springs seem to supply there kits with bigger rears .i can not make my mind up if my disco sits level or optical illusion with the front arches being higher.
what was the reasn for your extra inch rears? ta glyn.

Dr Neil:
hi mate, the springs are all the same height. The reason for the extra inch spacer under the rear springs was so as i could fit my +2" shocks as it had lowered shock mounts on. I have since removed the spring spacers at the rear and fitted standard rear shock mounts. I must admit i thought it did look better with the extra inch at the rear but with  the +2 shocks there wasn't enough travel on them.
Glad you pointed out on my spec. (didn't think anyone bothered reading them) i will alter it now

thanks

Neil.....
