235/85's on a Disco II ... probably asked a thousand times!

I've got the opportunity to have some 235/85's at a very decent price for my Disco II but I'm pretty sure they won't fit without some sort of lift/surgery. I don't want to do that but I also don't want to fit them to the rims on a "try it and see" basis and then have to take them off the rims again. The question then is: will they fit without some form of adjustment to the vehicle?



Plan-B is that they go on to the Series III on disco steel rims. Plan-C is .... errr....there isn't a Plan-C at the moment.



TIA, Steve

that tends to agree with a statement in the LR comic that very few folk bother with the steering lock stops on the the front hubs I remember looking at mine and thinking buggerit. Derek

The turning circle on mine already qualifies for the addition of the word "County" on the Series II logo, so if I wind out the stops to prevent plastic thingie rub I'm going to have trouble negotiating roundabouts!! Looks like it's Plan-B or C. Thanks, Steve

You could simply remove the plastic arch liners from under the arch. also mine are aggressive mud terrains, and it only just caught the left side one by 1 or 2 mm
