Right am about to explode.

750-16s require a camel cut to fit a Discovery 1? Correct?

Now what no one seems to mention is what wheels or offset these have been tried at.

Just how much room is required in the back arch?

I have tried my 750-16s that are on 109 Series 3 wheels, so the wheels would be 6"? With an offset of 33?

Now they fit no rubbing even at standard height, granted thou there is less than 15mm if I try squeeze my fingers in the gap, but this is the bit that has me baffled, the wheel is well in to the wheel arch I have to put my fingers in at around 45 degrees.

So lifting it 2" like I have planned meaning it would be even further away.

So this lead me to think on how does it catch the bodywork that everyone mentions?

I thought that fitting to the OE 7" Land Rover alloys with an offset of 40? would have meant they sat out further possibly causing said issues.

Can someone that has actually fitted 750-16s on series wheels to a Discovery post results, findings, experience before I bend mine in the name of research.
 
I have tried in theory with jack and weights but due to other issues I was unable to put theory in to practice.

But the wheel tucked inside the wheel arch. I don't see how the wheel itself can move back or forth?

Up and down, with varying degree of camber, but I think you would have to hit something rather solid to make the wheel move back.

The wheel desribes an arc under compression or deflection. with the centre of the Arc set by the trailing arm so as ya spring compresses the wheel moves up and forwards.
