18"BFG KO2
Hi,

Looking to upgrade to 18" wheels and stick with 265 BFG KO2s (have them fitted to my current dual finish alloys). However, I noticed that they come in two different specifications: 265/60R18 119S & KO2 265/65R18 117R. Any ideas how they differ and which ones I should go for? Many thanks

It's your choice but the 265x65R18 is the normal choice, giving a similar diameter to standard. Thumbs Up

The 265/60R18 are about an inch 'lower' overall (31.5 inches for the /65 30.5 inches for the /60)

I think they're very similar rolling radius as 235/85r16 and 265/75r16 Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon
