I'm rolling the dice and ordered the 18" XD Monsters with some BFG's from Discount tire today. They assured me they would fit. I'll post pictures if they do.

After everything was said and done a supply problem with the XD wheels was discouraging enough I canceled the order and ordered Compomotive PD1881 wheels.

I'll bet happier. I'll bet a better product too.

Was the XD "forged" and how can they verify the load rating? Adapter rings DO work, but it's nice to just have things be machined to fit when possible.

The PD I read about seem like a very good product.

I want to see one of you white LR people get the PD powdercoated white to match! Like the rally car wheels ;) Someone Dooooo it!

White would be interesting, but would be dirty so quickly! :)

I agree, go the Compomotive route, they are awesome wheels.

I don't think you would need to powder coat the spacers. You just need to decide if you are keeping the lug nuts silver or have them done black. On my 2011, I had them done black as well. My 2013 has the black design package (as you saw) and they leave them silver - same on my Compomotive wheels.

I do have some extra black center caps too (I think).

What do you mean by "done" black? You had the nuts coated too?!

Just so people know, I tried the Gorilla nuts and they are great so far through the winter seem perfect on and off 3x. Do NOT use an impact wrench on any of these in black though. Don't let the tire shop, etc. There's really not need to anyway. I use a breaker to loosen, then impact to to just screw off fast. Hand thread to start back on, gently hammer driver again, hand snug, then torque wrench 2x.

Black center caps, genuine, are available on ebay, just dig a little to pay the least.

Yes, but not on my 2013... left them alone (silver).

one thing about these Gorilla's is they don't have the annoying steel cap that inevitably deforms making trouble fitting the correct socket size.
