Sounds like you got some trimming to do and then some.
Your 8 spoke wheels have a wider offset which will make the rubbing worse between the outer edges and the wheelarch lips.
DV has the same set up as you, but with 4" lift and he has a 'camel cut' on the rear arch along with no plastic sill trim or standard front bumper.
My old Disco was on about 3ish inch lift on modular wheels with 265 tyres and I ended up fitting a wide arch kit to it to stop this happening.
This meant cutting up to 2" out of the arches in places and into the second skin of the rear doors too - a job not for the faint hearted.
Cured the problem though
I guess that's why I went back to 235/70 16s on my current Disco - less ground clearance, but a shedload less hassle with everything else.
