Title: 265/75/16's
Post by: Les Brock on December 11, 2005, 23:34:24

I'm right in saying these won't fit my Disco 1 with a 2 inch lift and Mach 5's with a 75mm offset without fitting fibreglass arches aint I ?

or will they fit with standard Freestyle Alloys

just checking

Freestyles on there(different nuts as well) at the moment and the Mach's are off the Hybrid when I fitted the Simex's and its to cold to be checking wheels and tyres when you get home at the mo  :lol:

TIA

Les

they should fit with a 2 inch lift as long as you have longer bumpstops :?:

3 door or 5 door starts coming into it as does wether you still have the original bumper or a winch bumper on the front. As well as bump stops.

My guess would be no you'll need to look at fitting arch extensions and there might be bigger problems with a 5 door and the offset.

I have these fitted to my 95 5dr with 2"lift on rrc alloys

Only problem i had was i had to adjust lock stops as they were catching

On the front hockey sticks and do the

"Camel" cut the rear arch's

You need extended bump stops and brake lines for the lift anyhow so no

probs there.

dave has them fitted to "TYSON" on std freestyle rims so you could ask

him, he will tell you better as he is already running them  :D

And if you're wondering what a "Camel cut" is, it goes something like this...

I still say the offset wheels will make a massive difference. I tried them n mine and I considered it wouldn't be safe without a fair bit of cutting to the door on a 5 door otherwise it would slash the tyre on articulation.

It might not get near it with 3" of lift.

Anyone got some for me to try now I've gone to 4" lift?
