Thread: Maxxis bighorns, D1

did this happen after we parted?

It most certainly did Lou. About ten to 5 it happened.

I just fitted some 265/75s to my Disco 1 for $311 each.
But 235s are perpetually on ebay and can be had for $240 excluding freight.
eBay: bighorn 235-85-16

EDIT: sorry I mis-read your original post and can't find any 235-75-16 tyres.

Have you considered KM2s?

There are some 245/75/16 for $300 here.

I've been thinking about getting the 31x10.5 R15 KM2 for my D1.

Hey thanks guys, i have now found out they dont make a235/75/16 bighorn, only wider and taller. My biggest problem is rubbing/scrubbing if i go to a 245/75r16.

Does anyone run 245/75 r16? Any problems. My D1 is lifted 2in but has not had the gaurds trimmed.

I used to have 245s on my STOCK D1 without problem. I lifted it 2 inches and now use 265/75. I had to cut the rear guards slightly.

Its OK for people to tell you that I had them on a stock car with no problems but it really depends on what sort of off roading they did and the sort of suspension set up they had just because you have a 2" lift does not mean its the same as mateys 2" lift because springs have different rates and will compress etc differently.

I run 245/75's and I had the rear guards camel cut...but on full flex I also caught the guards I never tore them but I stoved them in a bit..yes I have a 2" lift but I also thing my car flex's fairly well as I have relocation cones as well.

I would say if your 2" is fairly stiff your probably ok as many people do run that size and dont have any dramas so you should be right. but I would say def camel cut your rear guards...I'm just letting you know that you "could possibly" catch.

and then if you get a little to excited and do catch the guards it simply means you will have an excuse to buy some flares and then once you got flares you can put even bigger tyres on.

no flares with the 245's on flexed ready to cut (i think, cant remember whether we were about to cut or they had just been cut and we were checking clearancce) guards as they did touch.

I know this isn't a true replication of it being offroad but like I said even once they were cut still caught them.



and this was the tuck with a camel cut off road I guess more possibly could of come off but I was rubbing the inside of the wheel arch as well.



really you want a set of these go on do it!!!

Hmmmmm. I only have medium duty terrafirmas in at the moment. I do want flares but they are just so darn expensive, not the mention the cost of having the guards cut etc. Ugh i wasnt expecting to have to do this yet.
