Thread: Towing 2.5+ Ton. Smaller wheels?

Thanks for the offer Dawsey, but all done and dusted now.

235/85s would be fine on a stock D1 on road. Offroad there is a chance it would catch on flex. Dont think you need much lift, maybe a minor 'camel cut'

EDIT- Glad to see the disco 1 ares towing with ease. Good luck with your project

I had 32x12s on offset rims, no lift but big camel cut at the back. Looked really cool but the offset rims made a mess of the fenders in spots. Couldn't really do any off roading at all, lucky the tyres were shagged anyway so I went to 31x10.5. TBH get the lift or at least HD springs to help with droop from other accessories. I still havnt got HD springs and the bull bar really drags the nose down, but no rubbing still.
