AndyMacG:
right ho chaps

got  2" lift on my disco   and some one has kindly left me a set of 7.50r 16 michelins on wolf rims :lol:   tried them on full lock and they dont rub like my 235's do ,but would I have to cut the arches  ????   for when I go off road????

Disco Matt:
Does anyone know if this would work? I've checked the figures on that site:

I'm considering a 1in lift and 235/85 R16s with trimmed arches. Looking at the guide the 235/85s are 2.3in larger diameter than the 235/70s, which equates to an extra inch above and below the axle. A 1in lift should provide the extra clearance needed above them?

I'm trying to avoid lifting it too much as I realise this will make it less stable on side slopes and while cornering. Plus it'll reduce wear on propshafts, etc. Not likely to happen for a while but I'm just gathering information with a view to assembling the parts over time.

One of my mates in the Discovery Owners Club is running 235/85R16 with no lift! Just new suspension and a camel cut.

I've looked at it with mine which is also on new springs and it looks fine for me as well, so a purchase is imminent.
