Default Highest Aspect Ratio for 2001 Disco 2 no lift

All,
I am looking at Treadwright tires and I am trying to determine if the 75's will work for my Disco.
I have 245 70R16's now and have my eye on the Treadwright AT Warden at 245 75R16 for a replacement. I actually would seriously consider the 235's as well. Any and all advice appreciated.

30” would be about as big as you can go without trimming. Not sure what that translates to in ratio. Someone will chime in and say they have 35” with no lift, you watch.

245/75-16's or 255/70-16's should both work fine. I'd go with the 255's, about 10mm wider.

I won't claim 35s, but I've had 265/65r18s on two Discos without any lift. No rubbing. I've got one of them sitting a couple hundred feet from me right now.

That comes out to about a 31.5x11.

I'm running 265/70R16's on mine with stock suspension and no issues. I wouldn't expect to go much further without having some work done. I haven't done any trails yet that require a lot of articulation, so take that into consideration as well.
