Sure is. I would as well, but may be able to fit with a little trimming and a thin (hub centric!) Wheel spacer. Maybe 3/4” or 1' with longer lugs instead of the bolt on type.

It is a stock Disco ll. I have Cooper Zeon LTX's on it right now. They are 285/60R18's. I do get some rubbing at full lock. The Coopers are very wide though, at 285 mm, that's right at 11 and a quarter inch. The Ironman 275/65R18's are thinner by about 3/4 of an inch, but taller by a little less than 3/4 inch.. I do expect to do some fender skirt trimming.... So, we'll see... I'll have them on this Saturday, which also happens to be my birthday, with pics to follow.

It was a noticeable difference in highway sluggishness when I went to just a 255/60-18 on my 01. I would think going much larger will turn the Disco into a real slowpoke in acceleration on the highway unless you re-gear the differentials.

This is one of the old cooper zeon's. Saved the best for use as a spare. The disco came with the original spare still in good shape, but 255/55 R18 as a spare for 32 inch tires is not a good option.

3 ton Tess gots new shoes!

I’m running Michelin LTX 265/65/18's. Just installed them 500 miles ago and could not be happier. I run them in the 36-38 range and higher when I in a trip.

Heres what mine mine look like:


I bought the spare relocation kit from Atlantic British so the spare would mount.

That looks really good. Are those Rover rims? I don't think I've seen those before.

I had a lot of fun. Got my wife and youngest to come with... Scared 'em both half to death....

Some of the trail was pretty rough. I think I would have pushed my Disco a lot harder had it not been just us.... But with out another vehicle, I didn't want to risk it.

This little section was all down a fairly steep grade, with about 30 inches of drop in less than a foot in those rocks centered in the pic.
