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. |
