Wish some one would make a sticky for tire sizing for our rig with and without a 2" lift.
I have an 03 Disco with no lift and it is time for new tires. I know I read that 265/65/18 will fit but now I can not find it for the life of me. Discount tire direct has these Faulken Rocky Mt. for $142. Looks pretty good to me. Here is the link to their price.

I had 265/65/18s on mine without a lift and it didnt rub. I now have 265/75/16's with the black ab wheels and 2 inch lift and i had to trim bumpers and plastic guards a bit, but mainly because of the offset. IMO think as long as your on factory wheels the 265/65/18's should be fine.

 

Cannot speak for the 65 ratio but we are running 265/60/18 on our 2003 Discovery and there is room to spare. We opted for the NOKIAN ROTIIVA AT at Tires By Web. Not cheap but I am loyal customer to Nokian and run them on all our vehicles.

It must be the offset. I'm running 265/75R16 on stock wheels and no lift with no rubbing.
