Default Just purchased 2001 LR series 2.

I would like to put new tires on stock rims. What is the largest tire I can go with? Hoping to put something on that has a more agressive look to it. Thanks

If you are running 18in rims I would recommend going with a 265/60r18. That's around 30.5in. That is the size I have on my stock height 04, and they fit perfect with no rubbing at all. Ofcourse this is with newer springs that aren't worn out and droopy. So if yours are worn out then it might be a tighter fit.

And if you get a matching spare then it is the biggest you can fit without modifying or flipping the spare carrier.

There's a faq on discoweb that lists tire sizess from stock to various lifts.

Just an fyi, the Land Rover Series II ended production in 1961. You have a Discovery II or Discovery Series II.

Oh, these Newbees!!!!!!
What will you be using the truck for, Are you still on the original suspension?
Have you looked at my major service list, especially the front drive shaft issue?
