    After market 18" for D3

    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.

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

    Cooper LTZ

    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.

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