Thread: biggest tyres for a classic rangie std'ish

Biggest size would be a 245/75R16 AT or MT whatever you choose. Your front stering stops will need tyo be wound out that's all and have a good look around inside yoiur guards for any sharp bits that may damage the tyres.

For 33's you'll need to get aggresssive with the angle grinder and put a bit more of a lift in because the unfortunate thing about the soft dash Rangies they have SRS airbags so body lifts are illegal. A set of flares to cover up the dodgy cutting as well and you'll then have the clerance

I like the angle grinder approach but even I couldn't do it to a nice Rangie like that

I run 215/85R16 on a standard classic Rangie without any problems (1cm shorter than the 245/75R16). At speeds greater than 100kph the speedo is spot on accurate - using GPS and Radar (the radar signs they have on the Freeways to warn you). However at lower speeds, the speedo reads 60kph and the GPS reads 67kph. So grab a GPS and get to know what your new combo translates to in speedo readings.

I have 245.75x16 BFG Ats on my 93 Range Rover , with a 2 inch spring lift.
Agree with lock stops.
I also suggest that you grind down the bolt at 12oclock inside the rear wheel arch. I have also cut the majority of the guard flange off , at the front of the rear guard, behind the door.
I have seen 245s hit there on bad corrugations. When you have a few guys stand on the bumper you would swear that it could never touch, but the front bushes on the rear arms must compress almost fully. Makes a mess of the tyre and the flange.
