Been offered a set of Deestone 7.50x16s off of a 2a for decent money.....got me a set of disco steel rims already....did a search and had a look at the tyre size guide and it sayez....possible rear fender and steering stop problems.....

Does anyone have experience of using 7.50s on their disco 1? The ones I am using at the mo are stock bodied and likely to stay so for the foreseeable.The '96 300,if the engine is EVER finished (my dad lost the block for a year),was planned to be the offroad work vehicle so would nave the plastics off and end plates welded onto bumpers (in my dreams I fab up some lush new ones) so that maybe wouldnt have body-clipping issues.

I dont know,so Im asking.I have some old 7.50s around....SOMEWHERE.....but typing is easier than dismantling the barn to look for them only to find my father sent them to antartica or something similar.......

i got standard suspension with 235/85 same size as 750 and rear arch trimming, endcaps trimming and steering stops. there just scrape the inner arch at the back but nothing a hammer cant sort out

The steering stop is easily adjustable, you'll just have a bigger turning circle to stop them rubbing on your radius arms. As for cutting the body i am not entirely sure. Try correllating the sizes to some of the options in the sticky to see if you can get something close

Nice one Tom....Im of that generation where the metric/imperial change-over was supposed to happen but the teachers werent really sure so we got taught neither....hence I dont swap between the two systems very well.Plus I spent young working years in the states and got used to inches ! Thanks again mate

My v8 had those tyres on with standard suspension. Needed the camel cut at the back and already had trimmed front bumper. Never had any issues with it.
