Default Nebrodi?

Ok, now I am homesick. Is the Nebrodi park still open to 4wd? To stay on topic I have the 2" lift on the d2, but what is the max size on 18" wheels AND the original front bumper? No offroading duties for this vehicle, but would like to avoid rubbing.

haha, long time since I created this thread... yes, if you are a small number of cars or you are with a local, it should not be a problem. I think 31s should fit, although it might require some trimming to the bumper. I have 31s but got rid of the standard bumper in favor of a winch bumper for that future mod... this is what my disco looks like now


in the end i installed the 1.4 transfer case and made it much better. now i can also think about installing 285 tyres (33 inch) which I think will get the gearing back to stock, cause currently it is quite low.

285/75-16?
My drive train are stock, you think I'll have any issues?

My current ko2 is 255/70 and it looks tiny!

A little more sluggish but the 285s will move just fine. Unless doing serious off-roading stock should be fine so long as you don't go crazy on the skinny pedal

OME HD Springs, 1" front and back spacer from Lucky8, Fox Shocks, and 33's (285/75/16). Rubbing on the factory side skirts at full lock. I ended up trimming them back at an angle. This would definitely rub on a stock front bumper.

It's been about 6 months now. I have a HD front driveshaft. Everything else is stock.

It definitely is much more sluggish right off the bat but I'm actually used to it now. Its not too bad. I will consider regearing it when I go rear locker and heavy duty axles. For now, it's livable.
