Thread: oversize tyres for the disco

run up to 35's on mine - what did you want to know?

thanks for the reply

what width rims and what offset are they

what size suspension lift and/or body lift do you need to get clearance

how much clearance do you have under the diffs

did you have to cut the front guards for clearance

did you have to fit flares to cover the tyres

just a few things thanks

Come and see my new Maxxis 235x85x16 in my Rangie and see if you can fit the spare. They are just bellow 32". the ones in your disco are 31"
They cost me $ 195.00 ea
Cheers

G'day Mark,
I tried 235/85/16s on my disco but found they rubbed too much at the rear, thats with about 2.5 inch lift included spring spaces which would act a bit like extended bump stops. The front was ok because the springs are too stiff, with the springs I want in there it would be a problem. I think with a 2 inch BL they will work ok. You do notice the gearing with these tyres as opposed to the 245/75s.

Cheers,
Pete

I chucked some 235x85x16s on offset rims on my disco with no problems.
Car has ~40mm springs and 50mm body lift.

You need to run offset rims.

I have also not touched to trimmed anything with this set up, no rubbing at all.

how far offset are those rims Dave

No idea, but a fair bit - they are basically reversed series rims.

The rears are offset about 10mm more than the fronts

I'll try and measure sometime in the daylight this week.
Dave.

Hey Shorty, from what I understand (and I could be wrong!) LRA sell Sunny style rims with a 1" offset for $99 ea... but I have read somewhere were people have made offsets of 80mm+, but these are for 12.5 wide rubber.

So mate, are you trying to tell me something here??? hehehe
