You won't be fitting 4in bigger tyres to a D1, D2 or D3 without mods to the suspension, At least that is how I understand it.
I think I said up to 2.5" on the Ds without suspension mods? Beyond that go smaller rims, then smaller rims and lift.
You did say "now bung large AT/winters on them and the 4x4s have another 4" of height" earlier. And smaller rims still won't help with that, you'll just have the same external size with more sidewall (unless you meant a narrower rim will let some vehicles fit a taller tyre without rubbing).

Yes, I felt the poster wasn't addressing that comment because he referred to the Discos. I'd forgotten the forensic level of explanation expected by some on here. However, you've already questioned the flippant "now bung" comment, and I've responded. wink
