Reply With QuoteI currently have 265/60/18 D697 LT's and they are a good compromise size. Better onroad than 17's and better offroad than 19's, if you know what I mean.

SubscriberHey All my D3 was fitted with some big rubber by previous owner 275 70 18s that work out to a 33.
What are others running , thinking a 265 60 18 Lt Alk Terrain might be a good size

SubscriberThe two most popular sizes are 265/60/R18 and 265/65/R18 but there is also quite a few running 285/60/R18. The first one has the advantage of still fitting a fully inflated spare and no rubbing in any position. The other two have the advantage of more sidewall and slightly more clearance but some rubbing and difficulty with fitting the spare. I have also seen the 285 sized spare drag on the ground significantly more in steep pinches. All depends on what trade-offs you’re happiest with.

Subscriber255/70/R18 = 814mm diameter.Originally Posted by Lockee
That's pretty big but slightly narrower than other 18" options.
Hard to say what the rubbing issues would be without test fit.
Would also need to confirm if there's any room in the arches if on the bump stops.
Is the KO2 LT rated in that size?

SupporterNot sure that last size is available in Australia. If it is it is probably a grey import like my BFGs are and BFG Australia will not warranty
