Tyre width for my Disco

[jezrider]

Hi guys,

Just a quick one, I have a standard Discovery 300Tdi and am loking at a set of new tyres, I have been offered some 255/55/16 which should look considerably more purposeful than the 205r16 skinnies that it currently parades around on !! However, im sure i read somewhere that there is a maximum width you can run on a standard Disco - and i dont want to have to start lifting the body or fitting arches.

Does anyone know the maximum width ??

will the fact that the profile is lower mean that i can get away without modding the car at all?? these ones i have been offered are a 55 profile and currently on a defender 90 ?

thanks for response so far guys

yeh, you could be right, they sound like hassle to me and thats the last thing I want.
