i've got an 03 discovery with 255/55 r18s. I'm looking at replacing my tires with nitto terragrapplers. can i go to a 265 or are the 255 the biggest i can go? also, there is a 255/60 option as well. will these work?

sorry if this has been asked before.

 

I went with Nitto Terragrapplers in a 255/60-18 and they are about an inch taller that stock. I wouldn't go any taller without a lift.

 

thanks

 

I just ordered these for my D2 also. They should be in tomorrow. I'll try and get some pictures once they are mounted.

 

Mattmo78, please do that. Thanks!

 

I really like mine, if you click on my profile picture it will take you to my gallery with a couple of pictures of mine with the Comet wheels.

 

265/65/18 with radius arm rubbing only while holding full lock and slight front splash guard rub from the edge of the tread while parking on the older style bumper I have. From what I've seen the 03 bumper would clear fine. I feel like any bigger and the driveability would be affected. With the swaybars connected the suspension doesn't articulate enough to even come close to rubbing the body even without a lift.

It's 31.5" vs 29" stock.

 

Here is mine with the 255/60 Terra Grapplers. Love those tires. They have 32,000 miles on them now and are not even close to needing replacement. Probably 50-60% tread left. Just maintain your pressures to the factory specs.

 

I have Yoko Geolander AT-S in 265/60/18 on stock suspension. Zero issues, gives a nice lift and no rubbing at all. The tire shop didn't want to put them on because they looked so much bigger...I told them no sweat. All good!

 

Here they are...looks nice and extra clearance is great in blizzards!
