Wheel Size - will they fit on my Disco
Wanderer:
Kev's had an extra offset if I recall. They were Guyanne Mud tyres though.
robbie:
these are on standard offset Disco steels. I did buy some wheels last year that had a wider offset and the Colway's were ripped apart by the arches on 235/70/16'sw so I understand the implications quite well ;)
I am hoping they fit OK, but if not I dont really mind. It was the wheels I bought them for, not really the tyres as I have some MTR's coming in a few weeks anyway, I just hope these do in the meanwhile
Bush Tucker Man:
--- Quote from: "Dave" ---Early camel trophy discos were on 750/16 with the rear arch cut
--- End quote ---
Without being too pedantic, Camels were on 7.00 Michelin XCL's & later XZL's
hobbit:
Yes there was the case of the cut
My springs were low anyway on the back, with the extra weight on the extension, after fittin new heavy duty springs, still down, so put 2" spacers on, finally the front and the rear are level, so dont know if they would drop in now.
But still looking at fitting the modulars off the hybrid onto the disco, i think they may fit now
Rob110:
235/70-16: Stock tire size.
205/80-16: Stock size in many other countries. same height as 235/70-16.
255/65-16: same height as stock
225/75-16: little taller than stock
245/70-16: little taller and wider than the stock size. reportedly, no need for lift, just minor trimming to fit those tires.
245/75-16: popular size for OME suspension lifted vehicles. require slight trimming on the rear wheel well fender, and may also call for adjustment on the steering bumpstops.
215/85-16: same height as 245/75-16. but narrower. seems to be preferred for the snow and mud.
265/70-16: about as tall as 245/75-16, but wider. will require more trimming and steering bump stops adjustments along with taller bump stops over the rear axle.
265/75-16: almost 32" tall. Same as stock NAS D90 tires. Will require even more trimming.
235/85-16: same height as 265/75-16 but narrower. And seems to be the most popular size with OME lift.
255/85-16: about 33" tall...very few people have fitted this size. Lots of butchering for this one.
285/75-16: about 33" also... but very very wide.
regards
