I have OME mediums with stock size tires. If I put 265/75's on how much turning radius will I lose after I adjust the bump stops? | ||

not much. | ||

I have hardly even noticed any difference at all. | ||

No noticable difference here and no rubbing. And I haven't changed the bump stops. This is on a D2, right? | ||

jason is right...assuming it is a DII, no adjustment needed. i am sporting that size on my DII and all i have in are 1" spacers. no cuts no adjustments. | ||

I am running RTE 3" with steel wheels and 265's, and my turning radius actually increased. | ||

Mike is that a stock suspention with 1" spacers? You might want to upgrade before you put them there spacers in. muhuh | ||

anyone tried 285/75R16's on steel wheels with a OME HD lift??? | ||
| Calvin Saul (Cal) New Member Username: Cal Post Number: 4 Registered: 12-2002 |
noee and monteman71, can you put that in inches? jbard, it's a DI. mikeyb, you should never assume. mountenn, if you have wheels with a wider offset you will get a shorter turning radius. I was asking because I'm trying to decide between 265,s or 235/85's. Is the traction increase with the 265's worth a little turning radius increase? Thanks | ||

they have been in for a few months, chris...and all seems well, but for the OME HD...i will remove the front spacer, leave the rear in and will get 3" all around. or so says the john lee! i recken' | ||

on my range rover it was enough to make me want to go back to 235/85's or 7.5R16 even. rd | ||

My fault...increased meaning got better, not got bigger. I guess I should've said "improved." | ||

For Discovery Series 1, 265's will rob on the pan hard. Either lengthen the steering stops or buy a spacer. | ||

Rob, did you go back? | ||
| Rob Davison (Nosivad_bor) Senior Member Username: Nosivad_bor Post Number: 338 Registered: 02-2003 |
i will definetely go back when these tires wear out. i will ride on them all summer and then buy some good winter tires, 235/85 is my only choice. my 265/75 rub on the radius arm in the front. i know i can adjust the stops but sometimes you need a little more turning radius and you can just jam the tire into the arm until you get past the tree or whatever. with 235/85 on my disco i never adjusted anything, so i compare to that and want the old radius back. rd |
