I am looking at getting some 235/85/16 or 265/75/16 tyres for my disco, I haven't the wedge to do a suspension lift at the moment, if I get the tyres what problems will I encounter without a lift (I am going to put a 1" - 1"1/2 lift on soon)  I know i might have to chop a bit out of the arches but I can live with that

MudRat:
Easiest thing to do is put a body lift on, cheap and effective!

chris.hunt22:
I have heard that, you have to extend your steering column and gear stick don't you?  Oh and mess around with bumpers

EASIEST ???? Not really that easy  :cry: remount rad, move steering, bumper corners, seat belt mounts, clutch pipe, floor supports, plus your gear/transfer levers drop 2"

Why not spend the money on the lift first? :idea:

You can get tyres in standard sizes for peanuts used, when people put muds or oversize on they just want rid quick  :D  Thats if yours are really worn

Cheers Hairyasswelder, thats what I thought, I know I could do the mod myself (I am a coachbuilder by trade) but I didn't think it would be that easy!!  Nowt wrong with the tyres I have got, just that I have got AT tyres on 15" steels and road tyres on standard XS deep dish alloys (16"), I like my alloys but don't like the steels, got them with the intention of keeping swapping them as and when, who was I kidding too much like hard work!!  Got the steels on all the time now as I go greenlaning a lot.
