Thread: 285/60R18 XL HELP!

Likely to rub with a tyre that wide (depends on the offset which they don't list on their site).

Will require steering stop adjustment to prevent rubbing when turning.

You do realise these rims make your 90 a road only vehicle as they are NOT rated for offroad use!

Might want to consider fitting H/T tyres as they will give better road manners and be quieter.

Here is their detail

Louis,

You'll have to phone Daniel at Mulgo to get the offset of the wheel before anyone will be able to give advice. He sells them, so hopefully he knows.

A Defender has standard 33mm offset and with that width, you most probably need an offset of around 12mm to clear the cars mechanical bits on the inside, but anything more towards the negative will start to stick out the flares thus becoming illegal without aftermarket flares.

They'll fit the car pretty well in general, it will all be in the offset. Circumference and diameter is almost spot on against the stock 235/85/16 tyres.

Check the comparison on the calculator.

Louis,

BTW your locking nut cap won't work with these, so maybe worth buying at least 4 extra nuts to take their place.

Cheers,

Lou

Offset for the Kahn is +10mm

Sawtooth (factory LR option) is +30

It's going to be close packing that width in there....

Nice looking wheel, shame they're not offroad suitable.

No plans to take it off road maybe the beach or sand road - sorry chaps

Lou thanks again I will get the extra nuts and call Daniel as I need to buy a rear for Gas Strut and spare wheel carrier/swing arm from him.

Thanks Again Guys

BTW I am now questioning myself.

What Tyers would you go for? I will be doing 90% on road.

My priorities look good on a defender, so not road tyres but need road behaviour and low road noise. Not that concerned about endurance 50 000 km is fine
