235/85/R16's on an unlifted Disco

(1/3) > >>

davidjmiller:
According to the tyre fitting guide above it is possible to put some 235/85/R16's on an unlifted Disco with some mod's.

Has anybody done it?? what are the probs??

I want to raise the diffs but not sure if I really want to lift the suspension (to get the bigger tyres on).

Thanks,

David

Range Rover Blues:
They just catch the rear arches and I reckon they will rub in the arches too.

These are the same size fitted to Blue, remeber the RRC already has a flared rear arch.

kiteman0:
ive got a 2.5" lift with cuts to front & rear arches and still catch :doh: the arches on extreme flex :roll:.
i would not put this size tyre on a disco with out a lift and camel cuts

davidjmiller:
.....should have said....just greenlaning for me. Nothing too extreme.

You solution is a 2" body lift.

Here an explanation for a Range Rover that I wrote. Its exactly the same more or less for a disco -

The only things you need to watch on the disco is that several of the bolts need to go in the wrong way up. I think its the two at the rear end of the sills and the one at the back of the engine bay on the drivers side.

You can buy a kit from Wizard (His ebay ID is wizardsec). I think they are about £125 (you get the whole shooting match for that and its good quality stuff. The best bit is that it does not affect the steering geometry.

You should then do at least a camel chop but probably best just to go the whole way. Heres how -

Again for a Range but basically the same.
