Looking for comments from people running this size, I've checked D2.org and it says yes, I'm looking to confirm that. thanks   Mark Albrecht (Markalbrecht) Member Username: Markalbrecht Post Number: 116 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 06:12 pm:    Running that now. No problems. Only issue is that spare may rub on tailgate when opening/closing door -- no biggie.   Rick Neff (Lostinboston) Member Username: Lostinboston Post Number: 68 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 06:58 pm:    Mark, didnt you put on a 2" lift? You can fit much bigger then that. -Rick   Mark T (Flybye) New Member Username: Flybye Post Number: 29 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 12:27 am:    Haven't had time for the lift yet on the sls spacers in the back, but I have it set at normal hight   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 322 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 09:31 am:    Here is a site that has good info on a stock Disco with 245/75-16's... http://www.sf.hiof.no/~frodehaa/disco.html   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Senior Member Username: Offroaddisco Post Number: 1554 Registered: 04-2002 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 09:37 am:    Joey, that web page is geared to the D1. I think Mark has a D2. It's much easier to fit a larger tire on the D2.   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 324 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 09:43 am:    Al, you are correct it is geared to a D1, but since the D2 has more room in the fender wells already, then this should give him some idea of what can be done.   David Seger (Croakus) Member Username: Croakus Post Number: 55 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 10:13 am:    I have a 2001 with 265/75. No problems at all (except having to flip the spare mount). I have a lift but ran with stock suspension for a couple months without any issue.   Jim Reynolds (4x4xfar) Member Username: 4x4xfar Post Number: 121 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 11:00 am:    That is true 265's do fit without a lift , no problem~~ -Jim   Mark T (Flybye) New Member Username: Flybye Post Number: 30 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Saturday, October 18, 2003 - 07:25 pm:    Cool beans going to mount them tonight
