DISCO ALLOYS QUESTION

(1/2) > >>

nickW:
what is the widest tyre you could fit on this alloy

Wanderer:
They are normally 7j wheels so should take up to a 255 but be guided by the manufacturer. Some say they will, others say they won't.

Budgie:
265's will also fit on 7J wheels but that is the absolute max I would fit.

Trouble is, when you get to these widths then you have to start thinking about the dia' of the tyre as well. A 265x75R16 tyre is nearly 32" dia and a 255x85R16 is over 33" dia and then you're into trimming the arches and have problems mounting the spare on the rear door!!  :?

Have a look HERE for more info.

nickW:
i have got a 2" lift kit to fit to the disco

Budgie:
I would advise that you fit the lift kit first and then measure from the centre of the hub, front & rear, to see how much space you've got. Don't forget about the articulation as well!!
265's on standard wheels will catch the spring hanger on the front before you reach full articulation and can rip the tyre. If you want to go that wide then either off-set wheels or wheel spacers maybe an option.

Then, once you know how much room there is, look at what size tyres are available.  :wink:
