Are there any 16" rims that fit a Disco 3?
Hi All,
I'm looking for a set of MT tyres for the Disco, but all most all are 15-16 inch. I did a search, but couldn't find a definitive answer. So has anyone fitted 16-15" wheels, or do the brakes etc foul.....
Thanks

hello,
YES, they fit. the bullface 16x8 ET-20. I had it in 285/75/16. I dont recomend it because it is ET-20, and the original is ET54, there is 7,5 cm width each side. You wont have problems of breaking mechanic, but the suspension works worse than before.
tha best is 17" with 3 cm spacer.
I have now 33x12.5R17 and 3cm spacers and it is PERFECT!!

Why not go for 17" that fit fine, loads of tyre choices and plenty of rims around on eBay and elsewhere...____

Just a word of warning, Bulldocers 2nd and 3rd photos show the tyres protruding further than the wheelarches, which is illegal in the UK

Also here. You have to homologate it and to put an extra wheelarches.
Then, after homologate, I took it off, because it doestn protrud too much... and the wheels apear in the car documentation.... is dificult to get a ticket... but not impossible. 200€. In 4 years, I havent got it..
