Land Rover LR4 biggest tire size: stock and lifted
The biggest tire owners run on a Land Rover LR4 / Discovery 4 at every lift height, with the trimming it takes, the wheel specs you need and the lift kits that get you there.
US trucks came on 255/50R19 or 255/50R20. On the 20s, LandRoverWorld owners say 265/50R20 fits at standard height without rubbing and is the largest size that still fits the spare well when fully inflated. A 285/50R20 rubs slightly at full lock and needs the spare deflated to fit underneath. Owners who switch to aftermarket 18-inch wheels run 265/65R18 with no rubbing at standard height; 285/60R18 brings only mild liner rub at full compression or lock.
Biggest Land Rover LR4 tire at every lift
| LIFT | BIGGEST TIRE | WHAT IT TAKES |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 265/50R20 · 265/65R18 on aftermarket 18s | LandRoverWorld owners run 265/50R20 with no rubbing; it's also the largest size that fits the spare well inflated. 285/50R20 rubs slightly at full lock and the spare must be deflated to fit. On 18-inch wheels, 265/65R18 doesn't rub at standard height and 285/60R18 brings only mild liner rub at full compression or lock. |
| 2.5 in (lift rods) | 275/65R18 – 265/70R18 (≈33 in) | One owner ran 275/65R18 and moved to 265/70R18 with lift rods and strut spacers; he reports the 275s sit very close to the upper control arms, and that 12.5-inch-wide 33s are unlikely to fit without rubbing the arms or popping the arch trims. |

Lift kits, wheels and tires for the Land Rover LR4
Longer height-sensor links trick the air suspension into riding about 2.5 in higher with no programming. Coil conversions trade air's adjustability for simplicity.
A steel front bumper adds a winch mount and recovery points while keeping the approach angle usable.
Dropping from 19s or 20s to 18s buys sidewall for airing down and far more all-terrain and mud-terrain tyre choices.
Fitment comes from owners and specialists; wheel width, offset, trimming and bump stops change what fits. Check clearance at full lock and full flex before you buy. Some links are affiliate links.
