Rodewaryer Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I fitted the Australian TX-1 wheels to my Discovery. As you can clearly see, with that offset, they do have clearance issues with compression in the rear and turning in the front. I trimmed the plastic valance in the front so turning is no longer an issue, but the compression issue requires a lift. I doubt even stock sized tires would help at the rear so it looks like it's lift time......however, even having said that, after 12 years of the same stock wheels this is a refreshing change to say the least.

old leafer Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 you may find that the lift will not solve your probs if u look in search about camle cuts it will tell you how to solve the catching its worth doing looks extreem way to solve rob but your back quaters look so nice stright would be a shame to bend one when the wheel catches the back edge regards mark p.s truk looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly i suspect a lift of some sort is required.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodewaryer Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'll have to look at what old leafer is saying more closely. My rub issue at the rear is the passenger side only and at the very top of the arch, just inside the arch under the door seam. It's a complicated area and I don't see any mods there being effective. I think the lift is all I can do. Thankfully these are not the off road wheels and tires, I use this size tire on stock wheels off road and the clearances are adequate so far. Is it possible to only lift the truck about 1.5 inches? I really don't want to ruin on road manners too much..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
