I've got a 97 Disco w/ HD LR springs and Bilsteins, so it sits about 1.25" higher than stock. I'm looking to change tires and wheels, I'm gonna use BFG TA-KO, but I'm confused about size. I don't wanna start cutting, but I'd like to get the Camel Trophy look (taller and not real fat). Any recommendations from experience?? I'm thinking 235/85-16 ???
Thanks much!! Jon

235/85R-16.....

Just do it!




If you don't want to do the trim, flip the bracket as per Kyle's directions (there's a writeup somewhere on the site)....

Good luck!

I have 235/85 R16's with the OME 2" lift. I'm sure that size will fit but you have to either trim or use the fender tuck method (a.k.a. KVT method). I think the CT trucks used the 7.00 x 16 or 7.50 x 16 Michelin XZL's. Also, don't forget to adjust your steering bump stops. There's a whole article in the tech section regarding wheels. Good luck!
