Hi all,need a bit of help here,
Can i swap my new grabbers at2, 255/65/16 onto a 7j 16" discovery alloy and will the discovery tyres 205/!/16 fit on my frontera rims.
As a minimum,i hope the grabbers fit the disco and then i could sell the old disco tyres and buy old ones to sell my frontera.
Thanks.
Just to add,i have used search and all i could find was a guide that didnt have 255 tyres on it and the nearset suggested cutting the fender........ahhhh

Do your 245 tyres come anywhere near scraping body/suspension etc.

Am happy with 255 being on 7j rims as thats what i have at the moment,so i think the guy at my tyre depot is a jobs worth as another depot fitted them originally.

10 1/2 inch tyre on a 7 inch rim........sounds like a perfect fit....

Probably 15'' but thats ok cause you can build up the rim with gaffa tape....
