Thread: Flares on Discovery 1

Yea i found that, I didn't realise quite how much they take out but thats okay. Hopefully i can find something to fill the gabs and get the door to seal better because i hate wind noises and this is my every day driver.

Just do what i did , no noise and no water ingress so far.

I think I found your post not 100% sure but it looks good!

Could I fit any wider 33" tyres on stock rims with flares? Because 255/75/16 are the same width that I'm running now.

You cant go much wider on a 7" rim.

Bugger that's all right. Guess once I get the 16x8 -25mm offset I'll have to see what I can get on.

I have been in hospital waiting for surgery for the last 6 days , multiple fractures of my tibia and had to wait for the swelling to go down before they can plate and screw it - SFA to do while waiting

I think 285/75/16s are equivalent to 255/85/16s, just wider. You will need a body lift with this size unless you have very stiff springs or packed out bump-stops. Gearing may also need to be address, especially if a tdi.
