Less then half a mile. The total diameter difference at the time was abut 1.5 inches.
Its possible my fault was caused by something else. It was parking brake and HDC fault. No special programs available. Not sure if I was locked in normal or access height. I would like to put one of my old/OEM wheels under as a spare, but sounds like I need something closer to the other tires.

Yep; that's the same issue a lot of us off-roading types have faced over the years. I run 30" tires on my 19s between October and March because I'm not on trails that time of year (snow in our wheelin' area) and I'm on the freeway a lot (football game travel) and then the rest of the year I run 32" MT/Rs.
I keep a 30" Michelin Synchrone under the LR3 all year round and then when I'm wearing the MT/Rs I just toss a loose spare in the boot. That loose spare is a 275/65R18 BFG Long Trail TA mounted on a BMW X5 rim! I paid $100 for both, mounted & balanced!
It's a "get me home" spare only.

They look nice, did you think about using Plasti Dip. It seems to a popular way to go. I'm thinking about trying it on LR3.

Yes, I did think about Plasti Dip but knew that I am going to keep them black and hoping the spray will last longer. I still think its a good route to take though. I haven't seen it in a satin black... just the flat and I wanted to do the satin. I did pick some up and will be doing the lettering and intake vent with the plasti dip.
Which brings another question.... has anyone used plasti dip on the wheel arches and the other plastic trim? All of my trim is soo gray, but haven't used any products to bring it back to life yet either.

I just hit mine with back to black about once a quarter and I get compliments on it regularly. It only take me about an hour to hit it up good and even my car wash will do it for me for not to much of a fee.
Cool man, I should give back to black a shot before I go crazy and spray everything! I've seen good reviews on these forums in the past with it.
