Hello,

I currently have 235/70-16 on my Disco 1. I have the OLD man EMU hd and bilstein shocks and it raised my truck about 2.5 inches. These tires look narrow and somewhat "donut" like.

How will a 255/65/16 look on my Disco and are there any complications to putting this tire on??

I have lots of room to work with now!

Thanks,

Will

If you stuff the rear wheel to the max, it will rub slightly on the rear of the rear fenderwell. You also might have to adjust the steering stops on the front because the tire is wider than stock. The good news is that you probably won't have to trim your front spoiler. Email me if you want to see what a Disco with that size tire looks like. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures with the rear tires stuffed.

Thanks,
Mike
