Just to throw a spanner in the works, I think you'd have no problem running 255x85's on a Disco with a 2" lift and no body lift. Have you thought about getting a set of these.

I think they're made in your kneck of the woods but I'm not too sure by who... They'll let you fit 35" tyres with only a 2" lift. Apparently, though, they are a PITA to fit (I know a guy who fitted them to his Rangie) but they look pretty smart.

On gearing, change the high ratio when you get your rock crawler gearset? 1.44 (ie the defender ratio) should be spot on.

Yeah, I think they are made by a company in Melbourne.

Whilst I enjoy nothing more than chopping cars up, it was just the rear wheel arch and door seals I was worried about cutting into.
