do u need to do major arch cutting on a 5 door disco with them on freestyle alloy with a 2 inch lift :-k
-
ones like these make me wonder
-
Your gonna have serious issues with the steering lock running that width with that offset. Spacers are need me thinks! You might just be able to run them with out arches but you are gonna have to cut a fair bit out of the bodywork. I run arches with the tyres on mods and the lock is still not too hot but they dont catch.

I run the same size but grizzlies.
You really need spacers (which I don't have), the lock is terrible and you need to camel cut, I only have a +2 lift, but will be lifting the body when I can be bothered.
-
I run the same size special tracks on my disco. I have a 2" lift and cut arches and I don't have any steering lock problems (no spacers fitted). But you are definitely going to need to cut the arches.

I have dakars on mine in the same size. It only has a 1inch lift, I only cut the arches out to the edge of the flair. You can see how much I've cut out in one of my threads. had them on alloys originally and the steering lock was worse than it is on the modulas.

I've got the 265 insas. They are simply a phenomenal tire - nothing will touch them offroad, performance on almost any terrain is far superior to any other tire.
The only snag is that you will need to do some cutting for 265s - rear arches and doors on my 5 door model. WIth a +2" lift the front will be OK, but on a standard offset, but the lock is dire. Spacers are the ideal scenario really, but then they're banned by our local LR club so it's a case of having to put up with it really!
