and again... Bigger 18" tyres

I'm sorry if this has been asked 100 times before Embarassed , but I haven't found an answer Embarassed .

I need to replace my AT2's and would like to go a bit bigger. I know the options for a 17" tyre, but don't know it for 18".
I still doubt to buy a set of 17" wheels, but in that case, i will be more expensive. So, what are my options if I want to go a little bigger (no lift) and use the same size underneath the D3 as a spare.

I know the 265 65 18 bfg AT will fit, but what if I want a spare? Is there something in between?

and, when possible, any pics? 8)

Try 265/60R18 - plenty in that size.

Cheers,
