tires or lift - Land Rovers Only

mowthat · 03-21-2007, 12:25 PM

Here is my situation. I want tires and a lift for my 2000 disco II. I have the 255/65/16 with decent tread left and stock ride height. I want to go to 265/75/16 with a more aggresive tread. And I also want to lift 2" all the way around. What are your opinions on which should come first? Or perhaps buy the lift and finanace tires? How much larger are the 265's opposed to the 255's? Thanks

Jake

save till you can get both of them. one without the other is just awkward.

I would say go for the lift. The tires can follow. At least this way you'll be ready for tires.

Tire rack can tell you the overall diameter of almost any tire of any sizse
select the tire and choose specs....

get the lift first if you must get one without the other.
both is obviously best

If I was going to to it again, I would get the RTE 2" lift although I love my OME lift. RTE is supposedly a bit higher
higher is better!

With the RTE 2" lift, if it is higher do you have to do the brake lines and abs lines?
