Not sure 100% if they come in 17" but the gg m/t looked good.
I use GG at3
I hope you've NOT got the v8 brake upgrade yet as those wheels won't go over the discs, and if you've not,
Then why not? D3 57 xs Stornaway grey
D2 02 commercial silver gone but a great servant and won't be forgotten

Hi All,
advice needed. I have the chance to get 5 Bf Goodrich Mud Terrain 265/70/R17 at a really cheap price. I don't know if they will fit onto a discovery 3 hse? i have purchased 5 17" alloys from a discovery 3 base model. would these tyres fit these alloys and would there be any clearance issues from a steering or suspension point of view?
i look forward to your advice.

Hi All,
well i now have got my self a set of BF Goodrich 2657017 tyres.Picked the 4 up for 160.00. getting them fitted to the alloys on Saturday. Just one big worry the tyres look massive. bigger than i thought. hope they fit on my disco. I know there are some guys inhere that have fitted them but i am worried about scuffing when they are fitted. Will let you guys know over the weekend how i get on.
Tyres purchased. between 7 and 10 mm

I used to have 265/70r17 Maxxis Bighorns on my disco 3, though had it lifted with Johnson rods and 50mm wheel spacers, never had a problem with rubbing.

I really couldn't say, as you can see from the following picture they are a fair size bigger than standard sizes so I fitted the rods and spacers at the same time as the wheels.

What tyre pressures do you guys use? I read somewhere that this shouldn't change from stock with larger tyres. However with mine at 32psi and 36psi it doesn't look like enough air...
I have BF Goodrich 265 70 r17 AT on my car.
