Thanks Pommy, but are they D2 runs? I haven't heard of anyone fitting 15" rims to a D2?
Steve, I have been debating exactly the same thing. I have 33" A/T's at the moment and they have gone most places. If I get the same size in an aggressive mud tyre it might be fine........but doesn't look as cool. :p
Tim, are they a new size? I'm sure I looked a while ago and they were not there.
Sorry mate forgot about your different wheels on a d2 no worries
How does the air suspension limit the lift?Quote:

Im not sure why you would bother. I guess tyres are cheaper but then they look illegal in that pic as they hang out past the guards.Quote:

To gain a lift with air suspension you have to put a spacer under the airbag. I am running a 50mm spacer now which is the tallest you can buy off the shelf. Your not gaining any extra suspension movement with spacers and I would not like a 100mm spacer under the bag, there is a lot of forces at play and Im no engineer.Quote:

Les Richmond Automotive sell a 100mm spacer in there White Tiger range of products. It's also available as part of their 4" spacer kit < Performance Suspension Kits > for when optioned for an SLS vehicle. I have fitted it, it's not straight up and down like the smaller spacers to account for the change in angle when going all the way to 4". It has also been engineer approved on a few vehicles now fitted with their full kit. It's not listed on there site at < Discovery 2 > with the other components but it's certainly available from them off the shelf.Quote:

That was last year, maybe he has a new upgraded one??
Cheaper and more choice, easier to get hold of etc. Plus gives enough offset so they don't catch on the inner side of things. and they look great. The angle is a tiny bit misleading, they just about sit within the 75 mm arches.Quote:
