Do you have another picture of them on the car from further away?

Ive been contemplating going from 18" rims to 16" rims and trying to get a good idea of how these look.

Thanks.
That's what I did, went to 16" rims. Pretty sure they are 265/75/16. I have a lift too.

Got a 2000 Disco for 500 stalling with misfires with over 15 codes which was part of the deal and just spent a tuneup, battery and everything went smooth. I just removed the front plastic bumper cover and cleaned it completely. So far its been over 2K miles and runs very well, I hardly hear the engine except the cats. So far I am enjoying this truck and I run it with REGULAR gas.

Bro, you made me think, LOL! I'm not sure, 85 maybe? Its been my 8th or so full tanks. My other discos are premium at 93 octane. Just so happen that the truck has no complicated SAI and just thought the engine design is more simple. haha Anyway, I tried the other as well few weeks ago but no so good in city driving. I believe if I had to drive for a trip then regular should be fine for me.

That was a seriously serious steal! Well, I got mine for $850 and now am in the process of bringing it back to life. Replacing front facia... Since the front end needed to get fixed I’m upgrading it to 04 look.

Hahaha! I only ask because in Cali, reg gas is 87 followed by 89 - 91. Here in Colorado reg is 85, 87 and then 91. So weird.

I like 3 mods to my Disco:

Crower 53229 Cam makes the 4.6 motor sporty.

FireFight SS-30 Automatic engine bay fire extinguisher in case anything old decides to become flammable.

In-Dash Double-DIN reverse camera w/DVD, plus hands free phone BlueTooth connection for auto-answering (don't have to fool with my phone while driving) that plays Spotify streaming tunes, has a GPS on the big screen in-dash, & Punch Bass for extra sound.
