265/75/16 on a disco with no lift ?

(1/5) > >>

tomkbucks:
ok ive checked all the tyre size guides etc, im happy to cut arches but not being to technical dont know what ' adjust steering ' and ' bump stops ' actually means, have i got any chance of fitting these on my 98' disco without moving to a suspention lift ? cant afford to spend the money on a lift and a little worried about all the other jobs that may need to be done at the same time !

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
265/75/16 will fit on a 3 door easy just cut the arch to the maxed flared out bit all around. 5 door mmm possible major work with the grinder. the bump stop can be lowerd by using long bolts with a metal pole spacer but limits travel but does not bottem out. as for steering lock just turn less with normal tyres on u rtain full turning circle. or just fit axle spacers there only 5o quid for a 2 inch lift brakes and everything else will cope but limited travel .

tomkbucks:
mm thanks , so it should fit btu limited travel ? how to i increase the bump stops and were do i get these spacers ? are they spacers taht fit above the springs ? sorry not very good with this sort of thing !

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
unbolt the bump stops replace the short bolts with 2inch longer one use washer or use hs steed rod cut to 2 inches over the bolt to fill the gap. for extreme use they need to be weld to a contour plate to match the original spec layout to look at. its save buying extended ones which are 40 quid also these  can be alter for increased travel on larger wheels . travel upwards will be reduced by 2inches that all drop will be increased due to larger tyre. i might be able to give a drawing of them

mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
if u have auto just use a 2inch body lift kit .it lifts the body to clear the tyres easy
