Exmoor Beast Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Does anyone on here run 255/85x16s on a Discovery2? I'm looking for a short term replacement for my 110 whilst I rechassis it and my brothers TD5 Disco might be an option. I need decent tyres so the thought of swapping the 110s boots over occured to me to save a few quid. I know I'll need to lift it a bit but how much? It will need to run at full articulation... Thoughts? Will :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Best bet is to try it and see. There is always the option to trim rather than to lift. I ran 33.11.50's on a stock height D1 no probs doing this. As for a lift. A 2" lift would probably be sufficient. But expect them to rub a little. If articulation is important, consider how you plan to lift it. As just longer springs will likely cause it to lift a wheel more easily.

dave88sw Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 You realise defender rims won't fit a d2? Don't mean to teach you to suck eggs but thought it might sway the decision if you have to get the tyres swapped over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddy Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 255/60/18 get pretty close to the bumper and arch bottoms I think you would want some decent lift and possibly flexi arches. But I think it would look awsome. Do it! Will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Darn it, Bruv got a silly offer and sold the D2 :-) Cheers for chipping in anyway folks. Back to Plan A and looking for a manual P38a.... Will :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
