You can go as wide as you like, this will not effect the speedo reading....., larger/smaller circumference tyres will effect the speedo reading.....

I have 33" x 12.5" x R15's on BB and the speedo reads under by 5mph

[Range Rover Blues]

I've got 235/85 and they are pretty much the same as a 750.  Of course the deep trewad makes them that much bigger when new.  As standard they should be 205/80 or 235/70, at a push 225/75 are slightly bigger but close.

Thing is I find my speedo accurate with bigger tyres on, though my tripmeter now isn't.

you should try some 56/12.5/16 the speedo is exactly right with those somehow, you could experiment past half a dozen speed cameras.
plod will let you know if it was spot on, or maybe a little bit out, but do it past plenty of cameras so you have a good average to work from.

Ummmmm, me thinks I'll check it on the motorway with the GPS..., that will save me some money and more points........ :oops:  :oops:

Think I prefer Chris9119's idea  :idea:

(cant read his sig tho :?  )

i was thinking something a bit tall than 265/75/16 but nothing bigger than 32/11.5/15 but on a 16 inch rim

[mobi]

try 255/85/16 or 285/75/16 same size just wider but in BFG's there 33.1" new i'm down to 32.8" with loads of tread left.

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

33s r too big 32s r ideal balance with a 4 inch lift on

[mobi]

255/85 are the next size up from 265/75 in height! :roll:

[meader]

and at that size they would look nice under your truck if it is that high 265 would look a bit small

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

the one thing with 33s and 34s is they cost nearly twice as much as 32s.

for something thats only a road tyre 60 quid is plenty .

i could see 34s on a 6- 8 inch lift maybe.

[Jake]

If you fit the wide arch kit as per the last picture you can run 35" on a 2" lift.

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

if u  look in the pic below im sure 35s would fowl on the back box

[Littledan]

why have a stupid back box like that on a 4x4 that you are going to use offroad in the first plac???  :?  :?  :?  :?

[davidlandy]

i would remove that back box m8 35s or not - it looks a little out of place on a disco and should be ona nova or a saxo - it wont last five mins when u go offroad.

take another look now its the same box but 3 inch tip instead

the only that got caught once or twice with having the rear step to low down on the towbar.

the previous 5 inch single back box was close to the ground at times didnt help being on standard height springs and tyres

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

besides with a bodylift on i could bend the pipe work up by 2 inch so it sits higher up against the bumper in the new postion

[mobi]

35" tyres fit on a 2"lift easy.



and 255/85 don't have problems ether.

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

okay lets get back onto ROAD TYRES . i was wondering what 275/70/16 would look and compare 2 265s for height

[mobi]

smaller

do you really go off road mate,all your pics of your disco is on your drive,

those tanks under the disco are so low,my mums got more hight with here shopping trolly :roll:

and the back box,that would be getting hit all the time even gental off roading,

have you got a lift onit,the last i heard you was going 4 feet with 50in tyres :shock:  :roll:

but your on about road tyres,im lost :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?  :?

show us some pics of your truck off road 8)

[Jeff J J]

Mine is on 235/85/R16 2" lift and camel cut ZU Rims it all dipends what you plan to do with your Disco. I went for General Grabber AT2 60/40 road offroad. Jeff

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

right answer

 lpg tanks give 13.5 inchs of clearence with 265/75/16 machos on . roughly the same clearence as a standard height disco with 245/75/16 on.

all the off road pic where taken on 35mm camera  . im getting them on here same how soon same goes for video on youtube.

its been nearly a year since i was last offroading. plenty of new pic with digital cam in the new year.

how is the back box still on there simple keep the towbar on . tank guard give maxium performace but u have no guards to protect the rear arch and exhuast and end caps.

most will say remove the towbar now. but if the towbar has grounded out before slight increase in revs and aggressive tyres i.e 18mm to 20mm ones get it going again.

hence why road tyres most of the time . pay and play day the mud tyres come out.

as for most lift id think now 35s on 6 or maybe 8  lift . with roughly 255/85/16 road tyres

time to catch up playing the mud for now.

[mentalmoshio sophs V8i]

right got the tape measure out take a look.

wot do u use rock slider for. tank gaurd does the same job in a way
i dont mean jack them as well

as for the exhuast i sure it sits no lower than the rimmer bros s/s sports one

as for most lift id think now 35s on 6 or maybe 8 lift . with roughly 255/85/16 road tyres

why a 6" or 8" lift? you won't get away without cutting the arches even with that lift!
