255/60/18 for Disco II any issues?

[zbysiu23]

Hi
I am trying to sell my 255/60/18 tires and an owner of Disco II asked me if those would fit on standard 03' Disco????
They would be 1 inch larger in diameter .5 in radius??????

They should fit without issue. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Discovery Series II

255/65-16: Stock tire size.

255/70-16: Just a bit taller than stock.

265/75-16: Taller and wider than stock, possible to fit without lift. minor rubbing. Looks real balanced with mild OME lift.

285/75-16: even taller than 265/75-16, r requires a bit more lift than the regular OME lift. some have fitted OME751 from Discovery series I, and changed SLS sensor in the rear to achieve almost 3 inches. Gearing and shaft strenght become issues.

255/85-16: a bit taller than 285/75-15 but narrower. Gearing and shaft strenght become issues.
