Thread: Tyres on standard rims

Hi landover I just fitted the 50mm spacers to the standard springs all i could afford at the time. And it still rides the same as it did befor i put them in. hope that helps.

Agreed, except for me I also have a body lift, but before BL there was no rubbing on 245x75x16's. Just Camel Cut required.

i have 2 inch spacers for the coils , doing 2 inch spring and ditching the coil spacers.. going to fo a 2 inch BL also as i have just done a massive cut and flares.. looking at 35s... just got to get the correct offset rim i belive.

i noticed i had 235/70 tyres on my disco the other day. i always assumed they were standard because of the rims. if i can fit the 235 width on that rim, does that mean that technically i can fit 235/85 to the same rims?

i thought that i couldnt fit 235/85 to standard rims and would have to buy steels or summit different.

i dont mean camel cutting and bump stops etc. i know all that stuff may need to be done but all i mean is actually fit the tyres onto those standard rims.

this is a pic of mine id say these are d1 rims?

thanks.

They'll fit no worries, that's the size we have on ours.

Here you go Fausto79,

A pic of mine when changing from Steels back to Alloys.
Both rims have 235/85s on them but different makes and tread patterns.

Thanks for the pic, looks really good. Has it got camel cut? I cant really tell i just woke up. Also it looks lifted. What sort of kit is it? I like the awning too, i always wondered how to do it on a disco with the uneven roof.

From the thumbnail its looks like your car is painted in a camo paint scheme.

Fausto, you can use Rhino Racks to mount an awning by drilling a hole in each leg.
