StevenT Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 I currently have a Diso 2 with 18" road tyres, I am considering putting some 16" wheels for off road or for winter / snow tyres. I am lead to believe this is a reasonable option to avoid a lift, but will I notice any appreciable change in performance or anything else?

StevenT Posted November 13, 2009 Author Share Posted November 13, 2009 Yes - a better ride and less tramlining Wow thanks for the quick reply, after posting this I found the Disco2 website with the tre size calculator which has stopped me panicking about y recent ebay 'win' of five 16rims and tyres. Thanks again Bogmonster, ahh yes the tramlining, at fist I thought it was a fault when I bought my Disco I wont miss that if it does help.

FridgeFreezer Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 Depends very much on the size / profile of tyres you fit to the wheels really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenT Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 Thanks for the replies Bog - Yes the tramlning was a little disconcerting until I got used to it. Fridge - I have 255/55 on 18" and was looking to put 255/65 on 16" ? Martn - You live a long long way from me but thanks for the offer.

BogMonster Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 255/70R16 will fit ok, that's what I have on mine. So will 245/75R16. Larger ones will fit but you get into having to mod the front bumper a little for clearance, or lift the suspension, and the bigger sizes won't go on the standard rear door wheelcarrier either.
