Thread: Availability- 05 18" LR Rim

Would also be very careful buying either wheel on top(from ebay link). It's possibly buckled with that amount of gutter rash. Wouldn't buy that without seeing it being spun up or checked by tyre shop.

Well keep two of the 17s so you have a matching pair

No good if you intend rotating the spares to the vehicle.

I am doing something similar,going to go from the 17's i have, to the stock new 18's i have under the house.Sold the almost new OEM 18' P rated tyres to a member on here,will be fitting the 18" rims with LT KO2's,265/60/18.

For remote area travel i will take an 18" carcass.

Its only a cosmetic thing if you have the right size tyres

What about legalities????
I have a spare off my sons XR6 in the shed with 80kmh warning stickers.
The tyre is rated the same as the others,its almost as wide and obviously the same diameter.

Not following - you are talking about a space saver tyre.

While not advisable there is no reason why you cannot put a D3 17" wheel on a D3 with 18" wheels as long the tyres are the same rolling diameter and ideally the same type and width. Nothing illegal.

But I agree - I was really talking about using the 17s in an emergency as I thought the OP was about as he indicated he wanted to have 6 wheels/tyres all up when travelling.

Anyway all that is off topic.

Which is exactly what the guy on Ebay is doing(There's a set in the photo yet selling 1 only with 2 already sold).

Not to mention you can pickup tomorrow, for free...

I'd also only offer him $400-$500 for the lot....

Besides, who doesn't want 2 sets of tyres for their 4x4, one for mud=D.

Buying a set and re selling is a great idea, thanks.

The guy selling the set on Gum Tree has a second add with a set of Disco wheels with photos (not the rim I'm after) in the 'other items from this seller' section. I've messaged him to see if he has two sets or it's a duplicate add. I'll let you know.
