i got them installed yesterday and they fit perfectly. You could probably even go a little bigger. FYI I’m not on stock suspension but OME medium in the front and heavy on the back. I just said stock suspension because it was a 1” lift when installed 5-7 years ago and I assumed it has sagged and settled to around stock height. I ended up going with the Kenda Klever A/T2 because of their warranty.

my old tires were 28” tall when they were on the car and were 255/55/18. They were very old and dry rotting but they were supposed to be 29” I think. The new tires are 30” tall installed which is correct for the size 265/60/18

Dude Looks great !👍.

so I Went to Belle tire ordered some 260 70 18 duratraks which they said would fit on my stock height… we did a test fit and no dice.

they are saying if I do a 2 inch lift I should be good.
Then I got Atlantic British saying it won’t fit….even on a two inch..they say the max I can go is 265 60 18? So I’m confused I want to go as big as I can on a two inch lift…thoughts?

 

265/60r18 fits stock height easily. I've run as large as 275/65r18s without a lift.

With 2" lift you should easily fit 275/65r18s with no scrubbing, and as large as 275/70r18 (33s) with minor scrubbing.

I've run 33s on several d2s with a small lift. Some have minor scrubbing, some none at all.

 

Gotcha. I’m putting the terrafirma 2 inch lifts… and testing the 265 70s… keep you guys posted. On another note do you guys recommend any other brands other than terrafirma for a 2 inch lifts??

 

I went with 265/60/18's on my '04 (Cooper At3's) and I get a very slight rub but only at full steering lock. I'm sure the stock springs are sagging slightly and that's the culprit.

Also, the spare tire fits, but it sits on the rear bumper so it will rub. I got the spare tire 1.5" adapter from Atlantic British which should cure it.
