Tyres and clearance

<< < (2/2)

Gav_T:
I have been through this forum and a few others and have got mixed reports. I have seen a standard height disco running 235/85's ok and with mine seeming like it could be possibly lifted (it had new suspension a couple of years ago but it doesnt say what) am i right in thinking that i could fit 235/85's too?
I dont mind trimming the bodywork because it was bought for offroading so looks are second to function.

Cheers

Gav.

My mate rolled his Disco the other week on tyres that size and a 50mm lift.

The whole plot looked very unstable on the standard wheels and offsets . . . like it was on stilts with the wheels tucked under the arches. It was an accident waiting to happen. Much better to widen the track as well if going for bigger wheels and lifts. Makes for a much safer and stable ride. Always looks a lot better in proportions as well.

Just my thoughts . . .  :wink:
