I will be buying a new 2002 Disco II come next april. Wanted to know if any D2 owners have fit 265/75R16 tires on there Disco safely with out any trimming. I am also going to add OME Springs and shocks when i get it.

My friend and I both put Dunlop 265/75 RT's on our DSII's. We both have ARB front bumpers and OME 2" lifts. No trimming or bump stop adjustments were required by either of us.

If you have a stock front bumper you will be doing some trimming.

No trim here, but if I try to take too big a curb, I could be in trouble. Michelin LTX/AT 265/75.

HO just curious, i was going to put OME heavy Springs on the front and rear of the D2 along with OME shocks. How much Trimming will i be needing and will i need to re-do the break lines? Also if you could point me to web page thats shows some detail on how to correctly trim that would be great. I know its a year away from my buying date of my D2 but i believe in educating myself well in advance. Thanks for all the answers.

now much trimming was done there...
only in the front spoiler.
this vehicle is fitted with OME coils in the front and air bags in the rear.

As of the moment I have taken off my OME kit and am running to lift with 265-75 bfg mt's. The only catch is, I have an Arb front bumper, dont know if it will clear the stock bumper.
