Hi folks, first time Discovery, long time admirer. Bought it a week ago, and have since added a new fuel pump, 2.5" single chamber muffler(custom tail pipe as soon as he can get me in), 2" spacer lift(it just had new stock length heavy duty springs, 285/75/16 tires, +2 shocks are on their way(I broke the fronts putting the lift on). Safari rack with more lights and a snorkel kit are on the wish list. Only issue I have now is the tires rub the radius arms pretty quick. Not a fan of spacers, but don't want to spend big bucks on terrafirma wheels, so I was wandering if 30mm hubcentric spacers would do much good in helping with this issue. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the Landy Zone forum. You can adjust your swivel lock stop bolts to avoid tyres contacting the arms, but this will increase the turning circle.
Personally do not like the fitting of spacers, they muck up steering geometry and place extra load on your wheel bearings, plus put your tyres outside the guards.
If you post on the Discovery section you will find some guys who have tried these mods they can talk pros and cons.
