tyres on a disco 1
Maarten:
that is a good point but portals also cost 2.5k and make the car fall over! and from what i hear there banned in alot of compititions because they offer such an unfair advantage of the extra height and the difflocks
I have portals on my disco and it doesn't make the car fall over. It's even much better after we mounted the portal hubs. We mounted larger springs but lowered the car so the horizontal position of the axle is the same as standard. We gained about 5 inches of extra space under the axle. I haven't heard that they're banned in competitions but the costs are very high and it's not just the the portals, everything has to be made stronger after that!

ive also looked at 31-10.5-15 i presume these are the same size as the 235/85 just a bit wider is this right :?

i run 31s with a 2" lift and the inside of the rear arches will need some fairley heavy chopping, but its not too bad. They are slighly wider and smaller than 235/85/16 tyre size.
