I'm looking to get some bigger tires for my '02 Disco II. I don't really want to do a lift. I also want to keep the 18" wheels. Anyone know how big I can go without rubbing?

It is not even worth going to larger tires not only with the 18" wheels but without a lift. You truck has already settled an inch or more from when it came from the factory.

You have to go with a smaller rim to fit mud tires but you cant go any bigger than stock i ditched the hurricanes for a set of black cragar rims and a set of 29X10.50X15 interco trxus sts a/t tires. The rims were 40 bucks a piece and the tires were 105. by the way the cragar rims makes the tires stick out alot wider maybe 4-5" and boy does it look mean. it makes it look like a land rover should

You don't need to go to a smaller/narrower wheel just to step up in tire size.

Thanks guys...you have changed my mind about not getting a lift. Now here's the thing, I can't seem to find lifts for a Disco II anywhere. Can anyone help with this? I'd like to go 2" with some 31's for tires.
