Range Rover Classic biggest tire size: stock and lifted
The biggest tire owners run on a Land Rover Range Rover Classic at every lift height, with the trimming it takes, the wheel specs you need and the lift kits that get you there.
The usual forum answer is 245/75R16 (about 30.5 inches) on stock coils, with the steering stops adjusted to stop rubbing at full lock. Some owners run 265/75R16 with slight chassis rub fixed by the stops. 235/85R16 generally needs a lift or some trimming on these 100-inch trucks.
Biggest Range Rover Classic tire at every lift
| LIFT | BIGGEST TIRE | WHAT IT TAKES |
|---|---|---|
| Stock | 245/75R16 | Fits on stock coils once the steering stops are adjusted to stop rubbing at full lock; some owners squeeze in 265/75R16 with slight chassis rub cured by the stops. |
| 2 in | 235/85R16 or 265/75R16 | Owners on a 2-in OME lift run either size with no trimming. Expect to wind the steering stops out; the 265s cost turning circle and some owners needed longer stop bolts to stop them hitting the radius arms. |
