Hey,
Just bought a 2012 LR4 and I am new to this site. I need bigger tires so I can use the vehicle the way it's intended to be used. I plan on installing the IIDTool and Johnson Rods and I plan on replacing the 19" wheels...just haven't decided whether to go with 18" or 20". Ideally, I would like to fit either a 305/60/18 or a 295/55/20 tire. My questions are thus:
***305/60/18 TIRES:
- Can I run the 305's with compo wheels without modifications?
- Has anyone run this size tire? If so, what mods did you have to do and were they extensive?
- Will spacers help eliminate additional modifications?
***295/55/20 TIRES:
- Can I run the OEM 20" wheels with the 295/55/20 tires?
- Has anyone run this setup with 20" OEM wheels?
- Where modifications required?
- What were the modifications and how extensive were they?
- Will spacers help with eliminating modifications?
On a separate but related note I read somewhere that someone was running 285/55/20 tires on 20" OEM wheels and required no modifications. Can anyone verify this? Essentially, I want to run the biggest tires possible with minimal modifications. I'm willing to do the modifications myself but definitely do not have the shop tools needed to do major mods. Also, does anyone know of a shop in Notthern California that specializes on LandRovers and implements these types of modifications. Any input or help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks and keep the rubber side down! Happy Holidays!
