265/65/18s on SE wheels?
Hi all, apologies if this has been answered before but I have just picked up my first D3 and would really like to beef up the look somewhat in terms of bigger tyres etc.
I have what I presume are standard 18” SE alloys and was wondering what are the largest / chunkiest Tyres that will fit them? I think I read on another post that people have put on 265/65/18s?
Hopefully the photo gets attached to this so you can see the alloy type.
Cheers!

Thanks for the links, so looks like fundamentally those size tyres will be ok the standard 18” SE wheels?

NO! All the tyres in the links/examples are 17” (although maybe the type of tyre is available in 18” , the 17” wheels/tyres will give you more grip in the mud)
What Johnlad meant is, buy one of these sets incl the rims as complete wheels...Best regards

265/65/18 BFG TA KO2 will fit fine on your alloys.
On my LR3 I can lower it down to bump stop with IIDtool to clear my garage without any rubbing.
You need to adjust the tire size with the IIDtool or similar to show the correct speed.

If you‘re after the look I presume you can get even bigger tyres.
265/65 is as big as you can go without rubbing and you won‘t get stranded in case the suspension gets lowered to bump stop on the trail.
