Thread: 32's under a disco

I would go with the 245's, i am selling my set of 235's as my disco isnt lifted yet and i dont want any probs with the guards.

Hi,
I used to run both sizes on my 2 Disco 1's. The 235/85/16 i think is a far better tyre size, but as said u will have to modify the rear 1/4 panels.
The 2" lift is by far all that is needed with the 1/4's being done, u may have to adjust the steering stops but no big deal.
Also a hint is to get the speed transducer from a defender, as they run the same size tyre & the speedo difference will be negligable.

I'm running 235/85's on mine with 2" lift. As others have said, do the cut to the guards and they fit fine.
Extra clearance is always useful.

are u guys talking about body or spring lifts? I'm assuming you're talking spring lifts......no contact on top of tyres at full compression?? How does the tdi handle the 32's, does it make high range a bit too sluggish?? I currently run 215/85's (31's) with no dramas at all, but might go the 32's if I thought the tdi would cope with it.

Spring lift in mine. For whatever reason, the front driver side tyre just scrubs on the guard on compression where as passenger side doesn't. I put this down to the inbuilt land rover factory tolerances.

Tdi copes fine once you tinker with the fuel pump.

Glen, how do the tyres effect the take off from standing still ? The rangie struggled with them and the 3spd auto.

bugger that go the 255 / 85 x 16s!!!

Hi, iam looking to buy a discovery and want to fit 32"s or 33"s with a lift of course. I was just wondering if anyone had pictures of the guards after being modified/cut so i could see how much work was invovled. Thanks
