Title: 35's On A Disco 5dr
Post by: UK CRAIG on January 11, 2008, 12:22:21: Has anybody out there got a 5dr Disco with 35" tyres????????

I have a Disco 1 with a 2" lift and 31" BFG muds, I want to go to 35", I was wondering if someone had a similar car and could tell me what else I will have to do to accommodate 35" tyres on a 5dr???

Any help will be great.

Cheers

Post by: mentalmoshio sophs V8i on January 11, 2008, 15:30:02: whats beats me 35s on a 2 in lift only give 2 inch extra in clearence plus more stress on drivetrain . plus ur talking over a grand in bits so why not just lift it by 2 inch with a body lift or spring spacers :-k

Post by: boss on January 11, 2008, 15:32:21: what! you get more clearance than that! and if you put the bigger tyres on you get better approach/departure/ breakover angles. anyways 2" is alot really!

The main reason larger tyres are fitted is...
- Lift the diff (or lowest part of the transmission) higher to avoid getting hung up.
- Improve approach & departure angles
- Look good :afro:

Post by: Wattle on January 11, 2008, 19:09:35: I have 35's one my five door Disco 1, I have a 2" suspension lift + a 2" body lift. I also have wheel spacers fitted.

seems to work OK.
