    35 in tyres

    G'day guys just wondering how much work i would have to do to get 35 inch tyres onto the defender was going to put 33 but now been thinking and 35 seem more exciting for off road . defender is lifted about 1 inch at mo .. Thanks in advance ....

    2in lift and some minor trimming to the flares will fit 35s no worries, i ran them on stock suspension, now running 37s on a 2in lift but i have done quite a bit of cutting now.

    Mine is a 85 county with an lt95, gearing in high range is great with 37s, low range could be better, but its still better then what most other brands offer standard

    as said above 2" spring lift is enough... chopping will depend on the width of tyres you're going for. I'm running 35x12.5's and have spaced my existing flares out but 70mm and pretty good on full articulation.
