Hey guys I wanna get a new set of tyres on black steels I found some that are 265/70/16 but will they fit my standard disco? At the moment I am running 235/70/16 will there be a huge difference or rubbing?

The tyres will only be 30 mm wider so will that make it more difficult to turn?

needs to check width of steels as 30 mm diff in width in tyres. are rims wide enough ?? i can't answer this but think ther are enough post's on tyres to get the answer by a search

Sorry I disagree with the above post that going wider does not affect diameter - it does increase diameter.

If you want wider but no increase in diameter you need to drop the ratio say to 65% for 265's

They will be fine disco has plenty clearance plus most after market wheels are offset to allow wider tyres

The first figure is the width, the second is the % of the width to make the height and the last is the wheel diameter.
