Read the tyre thread and all will be revealed.
 
Doesnt really answer the question... 255's aren't listed, and it doesnt say if its standard wheels?

It assumes that std rims will be used and you obviously didn't read very far as it does list a 255 tyre size.:rolleyes:

The link gives the max tyre size (dia) to fit a discovery not the rim width.
Your standard wheels are 7J and according to a Rim Width Calculator you don't have to move up to 8J rims to fit 255 70 16 tyres.

Ohhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhh.... :doh:

Want lower profile though :p



The 255 will be a very slightly larger diameter than the 235 by 0.79 cm.......:behindsofa:


A 255-65 x 16 has a lower profile than a 235-70 x 16, but not a smaller overall diameter.......
