i've got 235/85/16 greenway machos (fantastic) and a 2 inch lift. i still had to cut the rear arches and adjust the end stops as much as possible aswell as welding on a large nut on said end stops to stop the tyres rubbing. acceleration isn't as good and as for the road holding, its ****e now, scary even 
but who gives a flying **** about road holding? i didn't get a rr to hound around corners in. thats what i've got a capri for! actually i dinny know which is scarier
but who gives a flying **** about road holding? i didn't get a rr to hound around corners in. thats what i've got a capri for! actually i dinny know which is scarier lets be honest, who did get a rr to fly round corners!! you could hardly say it handled on rails to begin with!! The reason I started the thread was i've seen a crackin wheel and tyre deal and as mine are all but done I thought about buying them, there 33/12.50/15 on white 7 spokes, I'm sure I could make them fit with enough body lift and arch grinding, but am i just fulfilling my childhood fantasy of having a monster truck?!!
I'm going to do a photo album of the work, start to finish. First things first is to work out the body lift required, I need to work out the amount of suspension travel the classic has and lift it by this amout minus the amount I cut out of the arches. I'm going to steer away from a lift kit as they have a knock on effect on other components, castor arms, dislocation cones and so on. where the body lift is less costly and I like the standard ride as is.
So if anyone knows the suspension travel then give a shout. Is it in the haynes?
