Thread: Biggest tyres on a 110

What state are you in?

The Icelandic ones have 40 inch ones

Victoria but it wont be a daily driver and I already know the legalities of lift and tires and whatever I gets gonna be illegal.
So the diffs can handle 40"? I realize they'll need upgrade shafts and a regear and maybe a truss and sleeve but that's ok.
Thanks.

I run 37s, with upgraded internals, the stock internals are pretty weak in the front, but the rear isnt to bad, the front is a rover diff and rear is a salisbury, basically a d60 - mine runs a ARB rd36 airlocker from a d60 in the rear now with huge 35 spline axles. I ran 37s on stock internals to start with and broke a few CVs and a centre and axle up front giving it a hard time, also broke one rear axle - but my truck had a hard life with poor maintainence before i got it and got a very hard time off road after i got it.

I have also seen a county on 40s here in Australia, it was running rover diffs front and rear i beleive, but it had toyota centres installed in the rover housings.

i run 33 12.5 15 on my 85 isuzu county. all stock running gear.

the isuzu has lower front stops. the back is the same but the rubber will tuch every now and again.

Alright 37s is about where I was thinking but later on with a bit of work I can run up to 40s?
One other question I had. In the US a lot of people "shave" dana 60s. Basically they cut the bottom of the pumpkin off and gain about an inch of clearance or the equivalent of 2" bigger tyres. Could the same process be done with a 110 diff?
Also what do you mean by Salisbury and rover diffs? Which is better and which is in the 110s and what do the other ones come out of and do they bolt straight in?
Thanks for the help.
PS what lift size for what tyres?

Salisbury(metric dana) was in the LR 110/130 /defender REAR till 2002 when they went with rover diffs all round. The front has always been a rover BUT the counties had a stronger CV than the later defenders but still will need stronger so look to ashcroft ,GBR, rovingtracks, lucky8 for better gear. Have a look at what cal has done to his county in members rides or talk to lowranger both have strengthened the internals to cope with bigger tyres. I have hytuff axles in my salisbury to cope with the detroit and 255/85 r16(33.4in) bighorns. Next big spend will be cv's and 4.11 gears front + rear.

So confusing learning about a different brand lol. So the Salisbury is a dana 60 and the rover is a completely different axle? Will check those rigs out. I'm looking to do 37s or a little more which will be comparable to a CJ8 on 35s.
While I was doing some more research I remembered I saw these which are pretty affordable compared to other portal options but dismissed them since my current TJ has dana 30/44 and the cost of 60s would be out of my budget. Would these fit a 110? not afraid to do a bit of modifying or mix and matching but obviously I have no idea what it would take. Would rather spend $6k on portals than on a good 4" lift kit and the other bits required to run 37s or bigger.
Thanks.

They'd be $3250 per wheel wouldn't they? Got me salivating looking at that site
