Re: tyre size s1 disco
With guaranteed no cutting, 245/70/16. Spring lifts have zero affect on tyre clearance.

I ran 235/85 16 for 6 years with no need to cut, on 2 different D1s.

Re: tyre size s1 disco
The rubbing happens at full articulation. You either had something limiting articulation or you were not doing things to flex the suspension to the maximum.

Re: tyre size s1 disco
They rubbed lots underneath the top of the wheel arch - didn't worry me, was just a reminder that it was fully flexing, but I never needed to cut. As an aside the same set of tyres on the third Disco 1 I owned (after writing off the second one) did catch the edge and required a camel cut of the guard to clear, but this didn't happen on the first two - never worked out why?red90 wrote:The rubbing happens at full articulation.

Factory build tolerances are plus or minus an inch.

It will also depend a bit on tyre brands, they do differ slightly.
I have an OME 2" lift and BFG KM2 235/85 16's and had to do a camel cut on the back of the rear guards. Approx 50mm at the bottom tapering up about 25-30cm up the guard.
The plates that hold up the rear mud flaps also got a bit of rub on full articulation but a bash with a hammer fixed that pushing them back a bit.
You can possibly put extended bump stops on and you might get around cutting guards.
Also I had to adjust the steering stops a couple of turns in one direction as I got a little rub on full lock.
No need to extend brake lines with only a 2" lift.
I have since put in 30mm wheel spacers also which meant cutting front of rear guards, more from back of rear guards and rear of front guards.
