[Wanted] 18" wheel
I have just purchased an Discovery 3 (XS) Commercial as a weekend driver and to take on off road trips.
In readiness for a trip to the Pyrenees in June I have bought a set of 5 18" wheels - for which I am about to purchase a set of AT.
Speaking to the leader of the trip, as I am the only Disco 3 in the group it would be wise for me to carry 2 spares.
I am therefore after a single 18" wheel. I am keeping an eye out on eBay, although if anyone in the West Sussex has one for sale at a reasonable price could you let me know ( would have put in the Wanted section but not enough posts yet). many thanks

What wheels did the XS have on it when you bought it? Use one of those as a second spare?

If it was a standard D3 size (235 70 17, 255 60 18 or 255 55 19) then I'd say use one of them as a get you home spare (even if a couple of thousand miles). They are all the same rolling circumference, they all use the same skinny spare. But not 20"ers. Plus it depends on what size ATs you get.

Planning to fit 265/60 18 BFG KO2
The current set of 5 I have are 10 spoke but the 6th wheel doesn't necessarily need to match
