they should fit without lift kit, but don't try any off-roading untill got the lift on, or good bye to inner wheel arches and ruined tyres, might have to reduce you turning circle too

Is that the case for 7.50 tyres?? I go tsome on wheels I wanted for the Disco but if they will fit on the 90 then my lad can have them

Robbie, yeah my boss' ex-mod 90 in my gallery has them fitted as standard, with no modifications.

robbie · « **Reply #6 on:** February 16, 2006, 17:48:24 »

Thanks for that, it gives about 1 1/2" lift on the axle then without any major mod. I guess it will affect the running speed though and acceleration a little. Mind you, ont he 2.5N/A it probably wont be noticed..... :twisted: :twisted:

robbie · « **Reply #7 on:** February 16, 2006, 18:16:52 »

Just checked the images. I guess it is the silver one ? and has it had a lift or just the 7.50 tyres?

Xtremeteam · « **Reply #8 on:** February 16, 2006, 18:19:15 »

750's got straight on a 90 with no lift required,they are actually standard fitment on some models

Edge · « **Reply #9 on:** February 16, 2006, 18:21:21 »

Robbie, No its the ex-mod with the 7.50 tyres, the silver has 235/85 machos and a 2"lift. There is not much difference in height between both types of tyres.

Edge · « **Reply #10 on:** February 16, 2006, 18:50:21 »

Robbie, IN MY GALLERY, the tyre on the bonnet of the ex-mod 90 is a 7.50, that will give you a rough comparison "without shadows" to the 235's on my 90.

I thought they would catch the exhaust where it goes through the rear wheel arch. I know whan I put 35" on my 110, I compared it to DavidLanies at some do or another quite a while back, and we decided his exhaust would be aproblem if he went the same way. Could have been Sibertofts, which was middle of last year.

hello!

I have put 35" simex on mine and left my exhaust where it is - its very close to the tyre and does hit it (it used to hit slightly with 33"s on) - keep meaning to move it to exit from the rear quarter panel.

I spose i will have to do something when it gets ripped off!

drum · « **Reply #14 on:** February 17, 2006, 23:26:11 »

Dave That's my sort of thinking, compare the wheel space, measure up, consider the problems, then do it anyway :twisted:

turtle · « **Reply #15 on:** February 19, 2006, 13:24:54 »

I got 35" BFG on mine with a 2" lift, got a slight rub on the back end so a slight increase will be needed, you'll get alot of rubbing on a standard motor.

gecko · « **Reply #16 on:** February 19, 2006, 13:26:57 »

looks like its only going to be that way for a week till i get the lift kit was thinking do thay do a 4" lift is so were do i get them thanks jason

turtle · « **Reply #17 on:** February 19, 2006, 13:28:27 »

I've got to add another 2" of lift to get the clearence.So 4" should do it :)

gecko · « **Reply #18 on:** February 19, 2006, 13:34:02 »

turtle do you know if thay do a 4" lift kit i know you can get the 3" but just need a little more with 36" on thanks jason

turtle · « **Reply #19 on:** February 19, 2006, 13:46:57 »

I've not seen anyone doing 4" lift kits (now to be proven wrong) Seen 2" and 3" kits.

I've already got a 2" lift on the motor, was just going to add spacers under the springs and then fit -2" Front Turrets and rear shocks mounts and extended bump stops.

Hi Guys

Why are you looking to put 3 or 4" lifts on for 35" or 36" Simex's? If it's out of choice that's ok, but if it was for clearance it's not needed.

I ran a 1.5" lift on mine and it was no problem. The last 20% of the wheel arch spats were trimmed but that's all. I ran on mach 5's with greater off-set to keep steering ok.

Personally I don't see the point in raising suspension any higher than you need too, and even for UK challenge events this amount of lift is good.

Cheers

Steve
