Standard 18" size on Prado and Pajero.

Russ beat me to it,the 285 size is a 200 Series fitment.He did manage to cram his under hid D4s bum.My concern is rubbing in a suspension failure situation.

Andy,

Have you tried your 18's on soft sand yet,if so,how did they go compared to the 19's?

I need new tyres,don't know whether to go 18's or stay with 17's,i have both size rims.

I still have not saved enough for Comp rims yet however when I talked to Gordon he recommended the 285/60/18 size for best in very soft sand....

Yep that's definitely a temporary fix i reckon. Not really happy about jamming it up next to the trailer plug cables either. Potential to damage the cables..

I saw a D4 with a kaymar twin wheel carrier at my local shops yesterday and now I'm sold on one.... Once the bank balance has recovered from the bull bar..

Russ.
I was refering to the failure of the air system,lines,bags,or compressor etc and you have to drive on the bumpstops.
Seeing yu have LLAMS have you yet tested if its possible to drive lowered with the 285's???

Ah i see. Nope. Will have to check.

Access is definitely fine though. Have driven through carparks no problem.

Breaker Breaker, does the Llams extended access mode actually drop to bump stops ❓

And if so are you able to drive around on the bump stops ❓ I'm referring to standard tyres or standard diameter.

LLAMS low with access height is very close to the bump-stops for MY12-on D4s for the rear whereas earlier D4s would drop another 30mm before hitting the stops. MY12+ front still drops around another 30mm, almost identical to early vehicles.
