Depends on what size you are thinking of - if they are 205/80x16 then yes no problem and no alterations required,if you want to fit the 31/10.50x15 then you need to do what they call the camel cut so they do not foul the rear arches. This involves cutting the rear wheel arch behind the wheel about 2'' back and about 4'' up - the cut is like a triangle shape.
Hope this helps Andy.

Need to cut it more than that. I have 31 x 10.5 R15 BFGs on my Disco and they foul the wheel arches and rear doors on full articulation.

No they are not retreads and available from PADDOCKS and will be FREE delivery as the oreder would be more than £50. As for the cut i believe that  is what is stated in the tyre fitting guide at the top of the page,cheers Andy.
