What are the biggest tires I can put on my 96 disco w a two inch suspension lift without modifying anything. 265's or 285s. I'm looking at the Guard Dogs from Treadwright.

 

Without modifying anything? That's impossible for both of those tire sizes. I'm running 285's and I've got a camel cut in the rear and in the front with wheel spacers on the front for the turn radius, you know so I can actually park in a parking space and maneuver around a parking lot fairly well. If you don't want to modify anything I'd throw some 245's on there. No camel cut no nothing. What type of wheeling are you trying to do?

 

What exactly is that? And what kind of spacers are you using? Thanks for the info, this is uncharted territory for me.

 

That's a camel cut and the guy used a dremel with a cutting wheel, an angle grinder works much better and far quicker. Usually what you do is mark about an inch or so at the bottom of the rear quarter panel right behind the tire and get a straight edge and line it up so the 1" cut fades back into nothing. As you can see I decided to take from below the plastic trim piece and cut all that aluminum off. The wheel spacers I'm running are from ezaccesories on eBay. They were like $80 or something like that.

 

I've got 265/65 r18 on my 2003 no rubbing at all

 

I found the site for the wheel spacers, what are you running on yours, size wise?

 

I'm running 1.5" if I have to do it again I'd do 1" or 1.25" if I could get ahold of them. As to running the 265/65r18 on a d2, that's a whole different beast. The wheel wells are a lot larger than a d1. Also a d2 Doesn't flex as well as a d1 unless you change up the rear links

 

Completely different animal, so not very relevant to the OP.

 

Without "any" modifications you're probably going to be stuck with close to stock tires. If you're willing to do a little cutting of the rear panels. You could swing some 235/85's or 245/75's.

The 285's will require some more cutting especially with only 2" of lift. Including possibly some in the front if you have enough flex in your suspension. Honestly, there are so many factors that play into it ( shocks, springs, links, bushings). That each truck is a little different. Also what you plan to do with it makes a big difference too.

 

Yeah I really want the 285s, and I don't mind cutting on it some. Just got the 2 inch lift today.
