I currently have 235/85-16 Greenway Machoes on my Disco.
It has a 3 inch suspension lift, 2 inch body lift and cut & extended arches.
I am quite happy with the Machos for now but i would like something a bit wider, these are currently 8 inches wide and seem a bit skinny.
I dont want to increase the diameter of the tire by to much but i would like something about 10 inches wide.
Any suggested sizes

265/75/16 8)

I was just looking at them.
I might go for the 285/75. The tyres i have at the moment are only a few months old so i will have to wait a bit before getting another set.

Wizard...
I went for 285/75's on my truck, and have since done 2 rear diffs, and a set of shafts.... i suspect i have too much grip!!
Go for the 265's......!!i will next time!!
-
that was one of the things that put me off , i dont want to go to big, just wider.
I think a set of 265's and a set of spacers.

dont forget 285's are 33 inch
265's are only 31 inch
hence why your blowing diffs and shafts
and the lead in your right foot :twisted:

narrow tyres are better, wide tyres tend to float about on loose stuff, and while they will be great in sand etc, the first bit of soggy clay/moist tarmca and you`ll be slipping about!
stick with the 235`s! :wink:

I'd agree, but it depnds what you drive on I guess.
