Sharpshooter:
What would be the largest tyres i can fit on standard alloys on my 200Tdi Disco with,

Standard

1" Suspension lift

1" Suspension lift and 1" body lift

1" Suspension lift 2" body lift.

Cheers.

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
Standard: 235/70/16

1" Suspension lift and 1" body lift: Ive got a 2" Lift and my 235/85/16s hit the arches at the back, front is okay.

Not sure about other sizes.

Anyone else tried different combinations?

Cheggs:
I have 1" lift and have 750's on defender steels without having to cut the body, but 1.5" more clearence under the axle, handles about the same on the road. The tyres fill the arches nicely to.

Tony F:
Without a lift, 245/75s are the biggest on standard wheels, you will still need to make a small cut on the trailing edge of the rear wheel arch (cut the inner fold at 45 degrees from the corner), you can't really see this anyway.

I fitted this size but on modulars which have about an extra inch of offset over LR wheels, so suffered more problems. I started by cutting back the front bumper end caps, which was OK (and sinch replaced with a winch bumper). And did a "camel cut" on the rear arch.

Unfortunately due to sagging rear suspension, I still used to catch the wing on the offside as that side of the Disco was 2" lower than the near side, which never touched.

In the end I went for a 2" lift with handed springs to level up the back end but could have most probably got away with one inch. This is the current set up:

Sharpshooter:
Looks Nice. I think ill have to go for a 2" lift. And maybe a 1" body. But i cant tell the missus, as she has trouble getting in it as it is. :)
