Default Help needed

I will start by mentioning I tried searching the forums for the answer to my question, but I was not able to locate the answer. We have a 2011 LR2 with stock tires 235/60r18. Will 255/55r18 or 255/60r18 fit on the stock wheel without rubbing the suspension? I did see some people are running 255/60r19 without issues, but I wasn't 100% sure it would work with the stock 18 wheels. Any help is appreciated.

I would suggest you re-post that question in the Freelander section.

235/60r18 = 29.10"
255/55r18 = 29.04"
255/60r18 = 30.04"

difference in height/diameter is ~1" with the 60 aspect ratio. difference in width is ~0.75". This means the tire will protrude ~1.33" deeper into the wheel well. don't know if that will rub anything, but for what its worth.
