I dont think so mate, I put them on my std disco 1 before i lifted it and it rubbed front and rear ion the gaurds. but if you lift it it should be fine

Well I don't have ACE/SLS so I'm not sure if they normally ride lower, but...

I'd have thought the diameter of a 235/85 would be pretty close to 265/75 (approx 31" tyre) which is what I'm running, had them on before the lift and don't recall any hassles but didn't off road it in that time though.
I'm sure someone who knows the calculations can tell you!

Yes they will, do you have 7" or 8" rims??

Baz.

235/85 = 32 inch
255/85 = 33 inch
265/75 - 32 inch (closer to 32 inch than 31 inch)

They will fit a D2 with a bullbar. They will present a lot better with a 2' lift also. I'm not sure, but I also think that they need the 7" rim, not the 8".

Thanks for the replies, I havent got the rims yet, Just out of interest why 7' rims and not the 8's.. The lift is something on the list of 'to dos' but the airbags are in great nick and are great for towing.. Just looking at having a spare set of muddies for playing in the wet stuff.
