Tire, wheel and fitment figures are the maker’s. “Tall” is worked out from the size code (dashed); a real tire measures a little differently. —: not in the documents we hold yet.

SourcesMakerThe small number by a figure says which document it is from.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

What the next sizes up change

From each stock size, the common larger sizes on the same wheel: how much taller, how far the axles rise, what the speedometer shows and how the axle ratio behaves. Whether one fits your Defender depends on lift, wheel offset and trim; these figures don’t say.

Assumption, not data

Heights come from the size code. A real tire of a size measures within about 1.5% of it, depending on brand, tread, wheel width and pressure, so each figure carries that range. The axles rise by half the change in height; the body only rises with a lift.
