depends what wheels you use and what offset,  standard wheels will be ok but you might loose abit of lock on the steering i lovered the offset on mine so had to cut the arches, i have the same tyres

That's because Keith has strawberry jam in his shocks and they've gone all saggy!  :D

I have 235 85 16's colway MT's on with a 2" lift , I had to trim the back arch a bit but they work well .

It may also depend on the tyre make too as some have large sidewall lugs that will make a difference the the amount you cut .



so many hills , so little time ....

Mate runs a new standard suspension system on the Disco with 235.85R16's. The only mod was the camel cut!

He takes it to extreme articulation with no problems.

No mods and standard suspension ???  So i could get them fitted before i do the lift on sat then and they would be fine ???

I have 235 85's on mine, with a 2 inch lift, cranked radius arms, etc, and zero offset 7inch rims, i have had to do a big camel cut, AND also similar on the front of both rear arches..... i suspect this is due to the wheel offset, so spacers might make things worse...!!!
I have also had issues on the front, if you still have the standard front bumper, you may find it needs trimming, again, i have QT front arms, and have also had to do a camel style cut on the rear of each front arch......

so, quite a lot of messing about really......
gone from 200tdi.... to 300tdi... still with loads done to it, in fact, even more than the last truck...LOL!!!

they will fit on but you still need to do the camel cut and trim the frount bumper end caps.    (and stay out of big pot holes)

I fitted mine before the cuts.........

on the drive home from my mate garage the tyres were kind enough to leave marks where the cut need to be  :lol: :lol:

but if I had carried on or hit any bumps they would have done damage ;)
