Default What Size Tire '99 Disco?

I have read a bunch of posts, but want to get this right. I have a '99 Disco II with the coil spring conversion kit in place for the rear. Can I go to a 245/75/16 tire and not have to do any modifications? I don't want a lift kit etc...

Thanks anyone...

But I would go with 255/70-16. Bigger than stock, a tinny bit smaller but fatterthan 245/75 and in my opinion, look much better.

You could go with that tire. It will fit perfectly fine. Better let us see your truck when you fit in the tire.

If you don't want to go for a lift, at least replace your shocks so you can improve your handling over your old tired factory shocks, try either Bilstein's or OME's.

I run 255 65 r16 Michelin Cross Terrains. Not a sexy looking tire, but they are wide and served me well over gnarly rocks and sand.

EDIT, originally had written 255 75 r16. Sorry!

I run 265 70 16 duelers on stock susp. no problems, couldn't go any bigger with out rubbing tho..Aftermarket front bumper gives a little more clearance. But the tires worked well with a stock bumper.
