Tallest Tyres to Fit on Unmodded Disco 2?
« on: May 21, 2008, 15:09:44 »
Hi Guys,

What's the tallest AT/MT tyre I can fit (on 16 inch alloy rims) to a Discovery Series 2?

Still not sure whether to take this route or do 2 inch lift with bigger tyres... :-k

Cheers,

Nick

i would think 255/65/16 would be a good offset or even 235/70/16 special traks but they mite rub and catch on the body work

Before my 2" lift I had 245/75/16 BFG a/t's and they never rubbed, I now have a 2" TJM lift and will keep the AT's as my everyday tyres but have also bought a set of 265/75/16 Muds for playing which I'll be fitting this weekend, will let you know how I get on.
