Widest tyres on standard alloys?

Norledge · Mar 30, 2010

I know there is a tyre thread at the top of this forum....

But i just want to know what the widest tyre is that can be fitted to the standard 16 inch Disco 1 Alloy wheel?

It Currently has 235 70 16's on... can i push it up to 255's?

Doesnt really answer the question... 255's aren't listed, and it doesnt say if its standard wheels?

It assumes that std rims will be used and you obviously didn't read very far as it does list a 255 tyre size.

The link gives the max tyre size (dia) to fit a discovery not the rim width.
Your standard wheels are 7J and according to a Rim Width Calculator you don't have to move up to 8J rims to fit 255 70 16 tyres.

std 7j rim can take 255 with ease

Thank God for that, had a forrible feeling i was gonna have to invest in new wheels as well!

you my get a bit of rub on full lock

BrianB · Mar 31, 2010

I likes a bit rub on full lock

Hopefully that'll be fixed by fitting the steelies on back to front.

I have 265/70/16s on std Disco II alloys, on a Disco 2. BFG ATs. Fit fine, no rubbing.

The 255 will be a very slightly larger diameter than the 235 by 0.79 cm.......:behindsofa:

A 255-65 x 16 has a lower profile than a 235-70 x 16, but not a smaller overall diameter.......
