    His picture has 7 inch. The only style Disco rim in 8 inches is the Lightening.

    Mine is running 265/75R16 Summit Mud Hogs which came with the car. They rub. I don't think its much, judging by how much the turning circle is affected.
    Brilliant off road, but howl like a banshee on the road.
    Looking at a set of General Grabbers ATs for the daily grind/everything that isn't mud.

    Therein lies the rub (another bad pun). There have been plenty of posts re rubbing (or not) on 7 x 16 inch LR rims with standard suspension, but I don't recall any definitive yes/no for the largest NOT RUBBING size for LR 8 x 16 inch rims (I have the 6 spoke (P38?) version that came with some of the runout MY 2004 D2a Country Classics).

    Turning circle is yet another consideration, but I'm pretty sure my stops are already as far as I can take them.

    Any comments/advice/info welcomed. Cheers Gavin

    I think a lot has to do with the brand and pattern of the tyre.

    The Procomps seem to have a fairly narrow tread section for a 265 and don't have aggressive side lugs, which I'm guessing is why I've gotten away with it. Something like the Bridgestone muds or MTR's that I used to run on my D1's I suspect would rub due to the more square profile and side lugs.
