reads90 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ok get a bit confused with these metric sizes. Give me the old imperial i know where i am I mean 35 , 10.50 16 is easy but 265/75 R16 i can't picture in my head. So the question is what size is that in english and will they fit on a disco s1 (they are BFG Muds) The truck has a 2" lift Got a feeling they are the same size as a set of BFG muds i bought of Moglite years ago., but Andy may confirm that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lars L Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 The diameter of the 265/75 is almost the same as a 235/85 which in turn is approx 32". 265 mms section width is approx 10,5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ali that is the standard Shogun size I fitted a set to my D2 for a short while but took them off as they screwed the gearing for motorway use (which is all I use it for) but if you throw in some 3.8/9 or 4.1 ration diffs it will go the same as if its on 205's. 265 mm across the tread left to right 75% of the 265mm is the tyre wall hight rim to tread. (so 198mm +16"(400mm) +198mm= overall high 796mm (32")) r16" rim where as 33/12,50/15 33" overall Diamita 12,50 is 12 1/2" wide left to right 15" rim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 For all you rtyre comparison needs I find this little gismo most useful http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html For pics of fitting 265/70 17s to a disco (same diametre and width as 265/75 16s @ 31.6") check this link to one I made on difflock http://www.difflock.com/forum/viewtopic.ph...light=camel+cut I now have a 2" lift fitted and have trimmed about 5-8mm from the inside lip of the rear wheel arches. There is still minor rubbing on the extreme edge of the drivers side rear. It only happens on a fast left hand turn on our drive where there are 2 nasty potholes. I think there may be some lateral movment on the bushes that could be cured! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MogLite Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Ali My old BFG muds were 255/85x16 - so a 33" tyre 265/75x16's are about 31.5" tall, but obviously 10mm wider Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 In imperial sizing it would be about 32x10.50R16 I know somebody who had a set on a D1 a few years ago but had a 3 or 4 inch suspension lift I think. The important thing is to have wheels of the right offset otherwise they catch the arches on articulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex Member Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I have a webpage just for this question. Well really the opposite of this question, but you can't have everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share Posted March 17, 2007 Ok thanks all for you answer. Andy i did rember last night the size of the tyres of got off you. And now think about putting them on the 90 and put the 90's 235, 85 BFG A/T on the Disco. They will look better and go on the 90 , and the 90 won't be doing the distance that the Disco will be . Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
