18 inch wheels
Hi guys , does anyone know if 18 inch wheels with 285/65/18 will fit without any issues or mods ?
I've done a search but cannot find this exact answer ?
Cheers

Thumbs Up yes, slight mod is extending the bolts to allow for greater steering as the tyres can rub on the arms Thumbs Up 5 minute fix though Mr. Green CSK Automotive

I think 18" wheels look good and should be an option from the factory but 20" is a step too far.
Just my humble opinion. 2005 Td5 90 XS

It would be rather sad if we all had the same opinion! Personally I think 20" wheels look fantastic - and I have them. In my opinion, 16" look too small for a rugged 4x4. Even my wife's tiny, little Shogun Pinin has 16" wheels. But it's a big world, and I wouldn't criticise someone for their choice of wheels! Neutral

Personally, I think this looks great. http://www.bramleyweb.co.uk/carsales/details.asp?StockID=3594 I would say this, because I have the same wheels and tyres (which have caused me some annoyance at getting them to fit!). Now left.

NCTT, as Killer 90 says, you may well have to adjust the steering to stop any slight rubbing - easy to do. It will make your turning circle slightly worse. The alternative is small 30mm spacers. Go for it mate. Now left.

Yes the bramley car looks good I have to say , and each to their own
I think 18,s are nice as you can still get a meaty tyre on it , but as you say puddle we all have preferences!!
