Is anyone out there running 245/75-16's on a stock (no lift) disco II using American Racing steel wheels? The backspacing is different from the stock alloys, and I would like to know if the smaller offset causes any problems with the tires rubbing on the fender lip. Thanks. |

Haven't seen them on the AR rims, but I have a couple of customers running that size w/ no lift. One uses the factory 16" alloys, the other has Camaro steelies. neither one has any rubbing issues, but I think both have tweeked the steering stops a bit... Maybe try the folks at disco2.com... fwiw- Craig |

Thanks Craig. Turns out that American Racing doesn't yet have a wheel for the D2. I ordered them from Atlantic British. Great customer service. Joe |

Joe, the AB wheels look alot like the AR wheels I have. Yes they will fit. But if you go with anything larger like 265/75 you'll get rubbing even with an OME lift. I might even be selling my steel wheels since I now run 265/75. |
