Default Tire size

I am waiting to get my disco 2 back. Had knew terra firm shocks and 1 inch lift put on it. They said my springs were fine. Used spacers for the lift. I have 18's on it. Was wondering what is the biggest tire I can run now. 265/65/18, 275/65/18? any help would be apprcted. Im going to buy the nitto terra grappler g2's. Great tire, I have been running them in a 255/55/18. I really do no offloading. Its a daily driver. Thanks for all the info. Joe

There's only about a half inch height difference between the two. I'd say the 275 will fit with 1" lift considering 265s fit at stock height.

You might even squeeze a 265/70r18 under there which would give you more height without going as wide.

I run a 2 inch lift with 265 65 18 on my Disco, and like the look, I could run the tires without a lift also (actually with about .5 inch drop due to spring sag)

That's a 33.5" tire. I ran them on my Silverado. I run 33s (285/75r16) on my Disco with a 3.5" lift. I highly doubt they'd fit with a 1" lift without major interference. I just barely clear without mud flaps, under door trim, or the factory bumper.

Not to be a dick to the OP but...

Can we get a sticky dedicated to tire sizes and do they fit?

Thinking of a couple categories
1. 2" lift 16"/18" wheels
2. 3" lift 18"/ 18" wheels
3. Stock 16"/18" wheels
4. Other

Default 275/70/18

Ok so what I'm getting is a 275/70/18 should fit without issue with a 1 inch lift. Am I right???????

You must be reading something I am not. This has been covered very well and 1” lift is not going to allow you to mount 33”+ tires. There are several tire diameter calculators available on line if you don’t want to do the calculations yourself. And most of the lift kits will list the tire diameters that they will accommodate. Trimming or using different bumpers may allow more options.

No, sorry. A 265/70r18 is most likely going to be your max.
