Land Rover Discovery 3 SE Tyres

Hi guys just wanting to know what is the biggest size tyres I can have fitted without having to get some sort of lift done to my car.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what size rims you have, but check out Gordon's tyre spreadsheet for some ideas of what will fit in the various sizes without rubbing:

Green Oval Experience Land Rover training, Range Rover modifcation

The popular sizes that I've seen for the D3/D4 looking at what members are fitting, more for availability in remote areas, 32" seems to be the largest without modifying the car;

I won't mention 19s, as I think if you have the D3, you probably have 18s as standard

265/60/18 is probably the most popular size that people move up to, anything larger and you have rubbing issues, which is where the link above may help, after this size you have 275/65/18 and 285/60/18.

Now if you can get or have 17" rims, you'll have a wider range to choose from, without any issues or mods to do.

245/70/17 30.5" or 747.9mm

265/65/17, 30.6" or 749.3mm

265/70/17, 31.6" or 802mm

I have 18's at the moment and preferably have tyres put onto them.
What do you think the chances of fitting 305 to these?

Largest diameter tyre with no significant rubbing is about 800mm diameter. The Deegan38's are 826mm.

Largest 18" tyres you could fit without suspension lift rods are 265/65R18 and 285/60R18 which are both about 800mm diameter. Check out the spreadsheet linked to in the earlier post.

Also 285 is as wide as you can go, or they will rub, 285s rub on the inner guard, the link to GOE shows how to get around that, also 285s or anything larger than 800mm will rub on the ARB Bullbar if you have one, but not the OL Bullbar, the ARB bar comes back further towards the wheel arch.

I'm looking for good MUD tyres that will fit my 18 inch rims but not rub. Please advise what tyres are going to be the best regardless of price. Is it easier to buy different size rims for a better range of tyres?

Achilles MTs are getting a good wrap and a cheap tyre too..

A very small adjustment to the lip with a linisher will sort that
