Default 275/70/18's???

Hey guys,
I just found a set of Goodyear Silent Armour 275/70/18's for a steal of a price. The question is will they fit? I have a OME HD lift and light dress (factory brush bar and full length wilderness rack). What do you guys think. They are 33.2 od.

There is a guy on the forum with 275/70/18's bfg tk/O's, he's got a 3 inch lift. I remember he told me that he thinks it would still fit the truck if it was a few inches lower. I'm getting ready to go with 275/65/18's bfg tk/O's on a 2 inch lift. I think they would just barely fit the stock height but since my suspension has sagged I don't want to risk it. Wait for some more reply's, I think you should be good to go if you have a lift.

I just put a set of 275/65r18s on and they have about 1/8" clearance to the front bumper inner fender liner when the wheel is turned to lock. If you have a stock front bumper on your 00 disco they wont fit without cutting. The spare has about 1/16" clearance over the rear bumper with the tire carrier flipped, so you will need to do something about that as well if you go with 275/70/18.
