Help needed

As the title suggests I require some help or advice. Currently running standard wheels with 255/60/18 rubber. Looking to swap for something a little bigger and more off road orientated now I have decided to keep the vehicle. Question is what size tyre can I fit with no mods? Or is there a bigger tyre I can fit with the simple installation of the lift rods? Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi

A great chart was put together by @ Asbestross showing the range

https://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/round-roadb...Tyre+chart

Must confess would personally stay with the 18 as they offer great road comfort along with the very important sidewall size particularly for off road use

Another link for the many threads regarding tyres

Hope that’s useful to u

Stick with your 18" rims as already suggested.

If you choose an unusual solution don't forget to inform your insurers.

As NJSS says, keep the 18" rims.
I used to run mine on 18" Rims (was a V8) and Grabber AT's. You really want the smaller rim for offroading rather than a larger one.

Thanks for the responses. Planning to keep the wheels and just update size of tyre. After reading up I'm thinking 265/65/18 should fit with no mods
