So I took the car out this weekend and tackled some pretty hardcore rutty sand tracks with a few rock crawling parts.

Thank you! I was actually looking after the entire length from ground to the wheel arch, which I saw was 87.5cm for Martas at the front tire, after suspension lift and 245/70/R17 tires and 84cm for iain cooper's stock car. In your case, as the tire diameter is around 77.5, the total would be around 88cm - but some is lost due to the tire deformation on the base.

Ground clearance also depends on the tyre pressure and how spacers are settled down. Average lift from spacers + 245/70 R17 tyres would be around 2" / 5cm. |

Finally the spacers are finished, all I have to do now is mount them.

If you don't end up fitting any spacers on the car you should invest in a Mantec guard for the fuel tank as I have damaged mine extensively. You will bottom out less with the bigger tires but it would still be a good idea to fit the guard.

Hi there, when I fitted 235x85x16" tyres to my Disco 1 I found the speedo matched my GPS much more accurately than when it was still on the standard tyres , but hey! it is 20 years old and modern speedos are much more accurate.

Would anyone be kind enough to send me to schematics (sp?) for the spacers by chance? |
