Greetings,

This is my first post, excited to be here and have my LR3 (one month in).

First enhancement I would like to make is my wheels & tires.

I've got the OEM 19" HSE wheels and Bridgestone Duelers, which have held their own on some quasi-challenging terrain, but I'd like to go deeper.

As most of you have seemingly done, I'd like to equip some 18's and more aggressive tires (275/65R18 Wrangler Duratracs). I will be hooking up Johnson Rods.

I do not wish to have Compomotive's or OEM 18's... this leaves my options very limited.

I've found a wheel that meets our criteria of 5x120 and 18x8... but it has an offset of ET32.

From what I have researched, we must run a 47-53.

My question to you all is (after exhausting my searching skills):
-Do we have a 20mm spacer designed for a 72.6CB?
-If not, would a 25mm spacer designed for a RR effectively accomplish the same task (albeit with a larger than recommended offset)?
-Is there a spacer you recommend?
-Are spacers not wise for off-road setups?

Thank you in advance, and I look forward to being part of your community.. this is my first Land Rover.:bandit:

No issues on my LR4 running -32 offset 8.5" wheels, I actually prefer the wider stance over stock -53 or Compo's at -42. I also spent months researching but never found any concerns with running the -32 offset, what convinced you it cannot be done? FYI I'm also running 285/65/18 KO2's.
