tyre size

Hi i have just fitted 265/65/16 insa turbo special track tyres and i am wondering which is the best way to go to stop them catching on the bodywork and the rock sliders. I have already done a 2" lift. I look forward to your advice.

get busy with the gas axe/hacksaw and give it a trim round the arches and nip the end off your rock slider

what does this do. sorry for being thick.

Griffdowg · Dec 16, 2007

it stops your shocks bottoming out. if you still have standard ones on there then this allows your wheels to travel further into the arch and will damamge your shocks. they will blow up or snap

Go to the "common faults and questions" section of the forum and look in the "what tires can i put on my disco" thread

With this change in tyres your speedo and mileometer will read 2.1% slow/low. Just bear that in mind if you want to do mpg calculations.
