I had the same dilemma as the dealer here in Adelaide stated that any deviation from factory size (275/40/20) fitted to my car(2013 SD 3.0 litre) would void my warranty. After some considerable research I imported a set (5) of General Grabber AT's in that size from the UK. As yet untested off road so I cannot comment on their performance but in terms of general driving I have to say that they are proving to be quite satisfactory
Its easy to waste money on buying parts that never really to the job properly and are always a poor compromise. Personally if I thought I needed bigger more aggressive off road tyres then I wouldn't waste the money on buying tyres for 20's.
Gordon's 18's are, once you add up everything, real good value and the smart option, plus you have two sets of wheels and tyres, one or every day smooth quite driving and one for getting dirty and bashing over rocks etc.
Plus once its time to sell the D4 you have a set of 20" rims that aren't wrecked from off road use and you also have a set 18's that you can sell separately.
What TerryO said.
I did the same....I feel a better outcome.
Only takes 30 mins to change all five with a trolley jack.

I was a little slow off the mark to change to 18inch rims.
I now have a set of 6 @ 19inch OEM wheels with scratches and gouges. And a brand new set of pristine 6 @ GOE 18inch which look much better. (Bridgestone 697 LT.) In fact I have had 2 compliments on the wheels. No one has complimented my car before.
I reckon I'll use the 18s for everything. The tyres are cheaper after all. I'll put the 19s when I sell.
And you believed them? :mad::angel:Quote:
