So what your saying is I'm the same height standing on my head as standing on my feet?
Happy Days.

Technically you would think that would make you two feet higher

of how big is your wheel arch, i.e a 33in tyre will not fit in a 32in.
A 235/85/16 will fit no worrys on a standard D2.
Also you don't get a wider footprint when you let you tyres down just a
longer one.

235/85/16 need a camel cut to not rub I thought (from all the reading I have done - although I must admit my head is starting to hurt now!).
Anyway, think I am going to go with 245/75 - I'm still new to 4wd so want to give those sort of tracks a try but not trash the car and roof tent. It's not banging so much as the scraping of the diff guards

I'm still slightly confused TBH - is the point that with a lift you get more articulation so even though a larger tyre might rub with no lift it will take a little longer to with a lift, i.e. you have to go over a bigger bump before it catches?You're flogging a dead horse!

Get a piece of paper.
Draw a big dot in the middle.
Rule a line across the page through the dot.
"This is the bottom of your vehicle"
Now get a compass. Pin on the dot and swing an arc with a 80mm radius from the line downward.
This is the arc of your suspension.
The line being the limit of "up" travel.
Now lets say std height is 25mm lower than the chassis (line) - rule a parallel line through the arc at 25mm below the existing line. This will be 'static height when stock'
Now to simulate a lift rule a line through the arc (parallel to the others) 10mm lower.
This displays the *static* height with a lift.
If in this example maximum travel down is with the suspension at 45° from horizontal draw this line from the centre dot you first drew.
This section now represents the arc of travel, regardless of static height.
Under load or compression off road the suspension can still move through this entire arc.
So if it rubs at std height, it will with a lift.
