Did the first test run with the a-arm extension from RoverTym installed. after that and a little more trimming, 33x12.5-15 swampers fit on the American Racing steelies with no outer body rub. Only rubbing is just a bit on the inside of the rear fender wells.

So, can true 33's with some good width and offset rims fit on a Disco with only a 3" lift and no fender flares? Yep. :D :D

Really looks good. Like the front bumper A LOT! What area were the pictures taken at? Curious to see if you could still fit the tires with a 3-link or modified front suspension design, AND/OR having the heim jointed trailing arms of his? Thanks for sharing the pictures Tom!

looks good I'm curious about the rear flex you hitting those fenders pretty good?

Way -

Right now, my front flex is not the best, it's pretty tight, so they don't even come close to rubbing on the inside. The main rub point was on the rear of the front fender, which has been trimmed.

The front bumper is by Aedofab (http://www.aedofab.com). The shop is nearby, so most of the work I can't do myself and both bumpers and the rails were made there.

As far as the heim joints in the rear goes, I dunno, I have never seen them. However, I do get massive rear flex without them.

Ben -

The rubbing inside the rear fender well isn't that bad. I don't his the outer fender at all. It is near the rear of the fender and it smooths along quite nicely with the tires aired down. Aedo is going to put a little lip on the end of the well so the tire smooths into it a bit more. Of course, a couple inch longer bump stop would do the same.

By the way, the pics are at Attica, IN. If you saw the general section about the ProRock competition, that is where I was playing on Sunday after the competion was over. Of course, I didn't hit much of the same stuff they were on!
