I would but I'm working away an dont have the disco ere but I have a spare wheel carrier with me and a workshop and a few spare hours to mod it if it needs it so if somebody knows that it needs to heightened or lengthened by 'x' mm that would be great.

If I get the chance, I will try it for you this afternoon. I'm running 265s but no spare at the moment.

If it won't fit. Usual cure is to invert the carrier which moves the bolt holes higher up. 265/75 is same size as 235/85 if that helps.

My standard wheel carrier wouldn't hold a brand new 235/85/16 Special Track as it'd foul the bumper by about an inch. It'd take a part worn one though. Just.
I ended up changing it to a D44 carrier which now happily accommodates the 265/75/16 I've recently changed to.
