disco_al Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 standard disco sizes are either 205/r16 or 235/70/r16. i've got 235/70/r16 cooper discoverer st's on my 300 and they are fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtherotti Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 265 75 16 will be needing a arch trim and suspension lift if its bog stock then 255 65 16 will just fit but 235 70 16 is safest if used off road with plenty of articulation rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I sort of go against the grain, as for years I've been running some 33" Simex's which are something like a 290/90 on a stock ride height Disco. You will need to trim the arches and fit some wheel spats/arch flares though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantic Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I run 31 x 10.5 R15 BFG AT's on 8j rims on a standard Disco for 2 years and now with HD springs. The rear arches could have done with being cut, but they're just being grazed really. It doesn't need as big a cut as many people do either. Lock stops and front end all fine needing no mods, though I have cut the bumper endcaps down simply to stop then getting ripped off when off-roading/green-laning.

Orgasmic Farmer Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yes 265/75 Muds do fit on a commercial (see pic below). I have good standard springs, a 1" lift using blocks under the springs, a camel cut on rear arch, and I had to trim a bit of plastic off the front bumper return. Wheels have standard offset. Using modulars or spacers would give issues without a bigger lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M005 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 I'm now running 235 85 16's as a mud tyre on my standard Disco, with only the camel cut to the rear. No issues as yet with articulation, however they do rub on full lock (only one direction though) so I need to adjust the steering arms (?)
