    This is not accurate. There is some minor rubbing in certain positions depending on tyre fitted for the 265/65/18.
    Also, the spare does not fit in the normal location without being fully deflated.
    These are issues that many people are happy to live with but the uninitiated should be aware of all factors when increasing overall diameter.

    It's all good - I just got a ripper deal on a set of Pirelli ATR+ in 255/60/18 so no issues with mixed tyre sizes.

    265x60x18

    I have 1only Bridgestone dueller 265x60xR18 2nd hand half thread - good enough for spare, free to good home. I'm in Greensborough, Melbourne if anyone wants to pick it up. I'm chucking it out if no one wants if. Also to 2x Pirelli Scorpion but they are 20" - as OE on previous D4 HSE - also going out of here . Neither will fit my D5. If anyone interested then call me 0488117763

    I had 265x60 R18 - better size. With BFG AT's they still rubbed on full lock but still able to stow the 5th properly . Gordon at GOE warned of the issues with 265x65R18 - same as what Scott was saying.
