I have Nitto Terra Grapplers in size 275/65/18 with no rub. I have OME HD spings, which cause a 2" lift.

I ended up getting 265/65/18 but I could have put a 295/70/18 with a slight cut to lower front rear plastic that would not be noticeable.

I went with the 265/65/18 because of tire weight and less work on engine and gears.

I appreciate the advice!

Default 295/70/18 fits Disco 2 on a Terrafirma Medium 2” Lift

The 295/70/18 (34” tire) fit with a Terrafirma Medium 2” Lift !!! They made the vehicle sit A LOT higher. I tried just one AT tire at a tire shop when they did not have 275 and 285. Minimal rub in one area and that was front rear lower against plastic rocker which I cut have easily cut and not been noticeable.

I saw the weight of that tire at 69.2 lbs each! So I decided it was going to be way too much for the engine, transmission, and gears.

I ended up buying 265/65/18 in an aggressive 31” tread. They only weight 37 lbs each and ride nice. The spare even fit lifting it up to bottom two holes.

But check out these photos on that 34” tire. 2” lift! 2001 Disco 2

Aesthetically and proportionally I feel like the 2” lift is ideal for these. Great looking truck.
