Default Tire/Wheel Size 2003 Discovery

I was wondering if 15 inch wheels will fit on the stock hubs/brakes. Also What bolt pattern would I need and what about offset and width?

I am debating between using the stock suspension with 15s and bigger tires, or stock suspension with 18s and bigger tires or doing the OME 2" lift with 15s and alot bigger tires and I need to know what all is needed and will work. Please offer your insights - Thanks

I might do some off roading with it but I want it to look cool. 15 inch tires are a lot cheaper than 18 inch tires.

You should be able to find 16's to fit a DII but im not sure about 15's. I think a lot of them came factory with 16s on them. At least itll be cheaper and easier to find tires for then the 18s.

Get goodyear duratrac for your 18 inch wheels. They are great combination and look. I have a 2003 too.

Nice truck LR03NJ. Do you know if 15's will fit though? Did you get a lift for those duratrac tires?

Not sure about 15. I thought It wont fit because of the disc brakes. Not even sure if I heard anyone here with a 15s usually 16s. With all those fittings, I decided to stay with my 18's and get the duratrac. Its quiet, I think. The roof rack is noisy thats why cant hear the tires. I got a 2 inch OME installed before I got the tires. No rubbing. I never tried off road so cant guarantee any further rubbing.
The truck looks great with the tires and a bit taller. You wont miss your truck in a crowded parking lot. They are a bit expensive and still paying for them, but I like them.

You can buy the 16" cheap and they are great for wheeling and look good. Again, why the 15"?

What bolt pattern and offset and width would I need for 16's? There was no particular reason for the 15's it's just that I saw a decent deal going for 15 inch wheels.
