i want bigger tyres on my discovery mt's,im getting alot of diffrent advice :-. i want to try and lift the diffs a bit if i can,at the moment got 205/80/16 and just put a 1.5" lift kit procomp shocks and bm springs,im willing to do a camel cut,so what size tyre :? been looking at some 235/85/16 but some people have said it will smash the inner arches been advised to put 255/65/16 will these lift the car any more.thanks in advance for the advice :D

The only way to lift the diffs is to fit bigger tyres. The biggest you can fit are 35" and this will only increase the diff height by a few inches. You'll also need the camel cut. To stop touching the inner arch, you'll need bigger bump stops....

will having such big tyres foul on the inner arches even with a camel cut?
will it dammage any of the drives having more friction on the road?

Forget 35's unless you want to do a lot of cutting and a lot of other mods, trust me I have them.
I used to run 235/85/16 grizzly claws with a 2" lift and they used to rub right round the edge of the arch on full articulation because of the huge side lugs, never really had a problem with the inner arches though. You will have to remove the innner plastic moulding on the front if you haven't already done so.
