    265 tyres on 86 range rover

    At the moment I have 245/70R 16 tyres on my 1986 Range Rover. Will 265 tyres fit without scrubbing ? The rims are stamped 7jx16x33.0. I think they are early disco. Cheers Chris.

    Yes but steering stops will need to be wound out as they will rub on the radius arms.

    May also scrub in rear wheel wells at full compression.

    245/70's are a good size for them

    245.75x16 will fit with a couple of tweaks.
    1 grind down bolt from inside of rear guards at 12 oclock
    2 cut flange off the front 1/2 of the inside of the outer rear guards.
    3 adjust lock stops
    Regards Philip A
