I have a 95 disco, I want to get Bridgestone Deuler 265/75-16s, but wasnt sure if they would fit on the stock rims. I have already removed the lower part of the front bumper, I have a 2" OME lift and I am not scard to trim the rear wheel wells. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

The tire guide helps as far as what will fit the vehicle, but it states nothing about original rims or if after market rims are needed. Should I assume that if it is not stated otherwise, that the guide is refering to using stock rims?

Jaime Thanks for the link anyway.

They will fit the rim. http://www.discoweb.org/rearfender/index.htm This will help with trimming needed.

James, be sure to let us know if they fit. I am looking to put 255/65-16s or 245/70-16s on my D1 stock rims (there wont be any trimming required for these) and didn't know if they'd fit or not.

Don't go with the 255/65, since they have less sidewall. Go with the 245/70, and those i know will fit. I am pretty sure the 255/65 would since a 265/75 or a 275/75 also fit.
