Tyre Compatibilty

Ok, want to 'man-up' the disco a little and (in my opinion) the 205 tyres look a bit girly in those big arches. Read all the threads I can find on what will fit without modding, but cant find info on what rim size to go for. So, I'm looking at 235/70 A/T's as I reckon they'll pad out the arches without having too much effect on either the fuel consumption or the handling. Will these fit on my std L/R disco alloys? To be fair, the 205's look a little narrow for the rims as the sidewall tapers inwards toward the tread but this could be normal for all I know. All advice gratefully received.

They will go on your standard rims fine. Most tyre out there will be fine on standard landy rims.

Got 265/70/16's BFG A/T's on my standard alloys - fills up the arches nicely, but slight cuts were needed, as was the bump stop adjustment - turns like a battleship now

Thanks for that info guys. Off on a tyre hunt I go then . . . .

Have you lifted it ??? Would have thought it would catch the inner top of the arch ???

Not when I had them fitted, and had quite saggy front suspension too...as dread to think how old the shocks were.

Have now lifted it by 1" with HD springs tho

this was before I fettled the suspension...



which drove ok without rubbing...and this after...



Much better

I'm on 245/75 on the same lift as stu

Fitted nicely before lift though!

and with a better steering lock

True still look good though would have gone 265 if I'd known they'd fit at the time

Its all about the width

Snigger well I've got some 7.5x16s for the series so you still win on that front
