How big can I go?

[DoctorJ]

I've tried searching and can't find the answer, I have a D3 that is getting a rear wheel carrier so with that being the case how big can I go with new tyres(currently has H/T tyres) in so far that I don't need to worry about fitting in the tyre well, but don't want any rubbing to occur, if it helps I'm getting the ARB bar. I don't want to get into the brand war it purely is about size! I will be keeping the OEM alloys.

Depends if you want to stay legal or not?

What size rims did your Disco come with as that may restrict what tyres you get more than anything else.

I have 32 inch tyres on my D3, 265/70/17's they fit just, slight rub on the rear left at full compression.

Good luck

By arb bar do you mean kaymar ? I don't think arb make a rear bar for these disco....I could be wrong.

I saw a kaymar bar on the weekend. The d4 had 255/55 - 19s. The wheel on the back rested in a circular tray....no room at all to go any bigger than that. It's the second kaymar on a D4 I have seen that had this setup.

The "tray" is only an aluminium shield to allow the rear sensors to work, it can be removed and larger tyres fitted.

OEM alloys are 18" and in regards to rear wheel carrier it is just that no bar just keeping the rear bumper I thought the 32's may be it, is this size readily available if needed?

Without mods, biggest on 17" rims that will just rub on full articulation is 265/70R17.

Biggest on 18" is 275/60R18 (a rare size), or 265/65R18
