Thread: Newly Lifted Disco

What are the draw backs of fitting 33'' tyres e.g los of gearing, speedo loss etc.

CHEES TIM.

yeah, 33s will definately put your speedo out and change the way your car brakes and accelerates. The standard tyres are around the 30 inch size so thats a fair increase to 33 inches. It looks tuff but to do it properly you will have to change the centres from 3.54's to 4.11's and while you are there you may as well throw some lockers in plus you will need flares and probably a guard chop...so its isnt as simple as just throwing 33's on

BTW, Knotty, I got my procomps and have fitted the dislocation cones..heres a pic for ya thanks for your help in this

Thanks mate i thought that would be the case, what about 32'' tyres?
Would you need a body lift?
And i really like the look of how much flex your disco has.

CHEERS TIM.
