After market 18" for D3

[Petian]

I've been searching for suitable after market 18" wheel for use as an extra spare for a Gibb River trip. I have CSA mags x 3 on my Adventure Camper with Gripper grabbers, and 285/18 LTZ Coopers on the car. Can anyone help me in what is out there and where.

I AM CONSIDERING BUYING COOPER LTZ 285/80/18 TYRES. Does it fit in the spare wheel well? What are they like as a tyre?

Given that's an overall diameter of 36", no it won't fit. Are you sure the size is correct?

285 65 18 ? ..... they will fit under if deflated ....... got a comp . ?

My mistake they are 285/60/18 I'm about to order 1 more to swap the wrangler on the spare so I tell you when it comes

And the bad news is they don't fit as a spare, so at the moment the spare is in the back until I find a rear :(rack

have you tried them with reduced pressures? Do they rub anywhere?

285/60/18 are ~800mm overall diameter. Stock is ~763. No way are they going to fit in the spare bay even deflated. I also suspect they'd rub at full suspension deflection and/or steering lock, especially being considerably wider than stock as well as taller.

I think he was asking about wheels not tyres?

Go to fleabay, 18" LR wheels for D3 (and RRS) come quite regularly.

I have had them since Jan, they have not rubbed at 15lb and at any height, been on sand beach and off road a lot with them no problems but have now ordered a rack from 4x4 for the back as it fills the boot
