Default 30.5 Inch Tire to Non Lifted Disco

Will it rub? I just want to get an aggressive looking tire to fit a non lifted disco to fit the standard 18 inch wheel. Thanks

I ran a 265 65 R18 on my disco, no lift and some spring sag (according to measurements vs new measurements) and never had a problem, not sure what that size translates to, but its bigger than stock, there are tire size converters out there, hope this helps some

I currently run 255/60-18's which are 30" tall, I have plenty of room with no lift. Next time I get tires I plan on going with 265/60-18's which are about 30.5" tall. Should work well with no lift.

I have 265/65-18's and they did rub very slightly on tight turns, but my truck has had some front-end collisions in its life so things aren't completely aligned correctly up there. I would drop to something a tiny bit smaller if I was getting new ones again.

Drove PA yesterday got 5 wheels and tires with 255/60/18 nitto terra graplers for 350. Still has plenty thread on them. 1 wheel still new with tire. Im just thinking of some smoother ride this time again. The lift and 275/65/18 lt duratrac with ome combination is beating the hell out of my disco. I had good experience with duratrac though which lasted well over 90k miles and had to retire it. Im just experimenting with a smoother ride again. The ome 1.5 medium lift is bumpy but it felt nice riding high. I will try the 265/60/18 duratrac this winter if i get some extra to spend. The snow traction is amazing.
