Thanks Grover for the ride height info. I measured it up this morning and I got 20.5 inches in the back and 20 inches in the front :(. On discoweb they list stock height as 18.5 front and 19.5 back. Look like I only got a 1 - 1.5 inch lift :mad:.

Will this impact the fitment of these tyres ? I'm guess it might mean I just need to cut a little more metal (and wont be getting my winch bar on)?

Thanks again

Your barwork will fit just fine with these measurements :cool:
And the only cut you'll need is the Camel Cut

I'm also a bit of a ****** though :angel: and run wide tyres on most vehicles :eek: they suck more power to push along and in heavy going its noticeable too!

Doubt you will regret the 235's... If I hadnt got 18's I would of stayed on 32's and gone 235's

That was certianly our experience too in the UK which is mainly mud Ian would always go a skinny tyre over a fat one

G,day Im running a cheap set of Maxxi Bravo 750s 245 70 16s. Yes know this is a bit off subject as these are'nt muddys but I thought I would just say how good Im finding these tyres. The Rovers a school bus most of the week. The Maxxis are good on the road just about no noise and very smooth ride. Off road there good I go pretty much every where every one else goes. Ive pulled mates out in muddy conditions and some of them run chuncky muddys. I dont know if its the Disco or the driver but I do know Its hard not to get a big head at times:p All for $760. set of 4
