Those giant rims with no sidewalls on Land Rovers are ridiculous, that is for sports cars. Re: Anyone running 18's?

I will ask what you are going to do once the 18's are used up and you need new tires..???? Buy new 18'$ ..Buy smaller rims ...?????? Re: Anyone running 18's? [Re: haztoys] #1059320 05/02/13 05:58 PM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 16,227 Bay Area, CA off-roader Web Wheeler This is probably the biggest reason I'd suggest selling the 18" tires versus buying 18" rims... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Now that said, there is an obvious difference in the load range but I suspect that has a lot to do with the 18's reduced sidewall height but perhaps someone more knowledgeable about tire design can chime in on that and what the real world impact would be between a C or E load range.

That said, IF I don't move them, I'd rather use them. As far as the $, there really isn't much difference anymore. The Overland Expo is coming up, and there's alot of Rover folks there, I might just be able to sell them then... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> 98 Gen 2.5 05 Pontiac GTO 91 Corvette ZR-1 2011 Kia Sorento (wifey mobile) Clarkdale, AZ Re: Anyone running 18's?

I'm speaking of course of the j-top convertible. 18" wheels and 529s, from the factory. But not a super low sidewall. 1991 HZJ77, 1999 KZJ90, 1999 UZJ100, 1992 M101CDN2 https://www.thegearheadproject.com/category/jdm-journeys/ Page 2 of 2 1 2 Moderated by  4x4Wire, Macka, Mudraider, off-roader, PHIL_, rxinhed  Hop To Mitsubishi Forums ------  Mitsubishi 4x4 and SUV Tech  Mitsubishi Diesels  Mitsubishi ArchiveToyota Forums ------  Early Toyota Trucks  Toyota 4Runner, FJ Cruiser &...  T100 & Tundra Forum  Tacoma Forum  Toyota Tech ArchiveJeep Forums ------  Jeep Talk  Jeep TechIsuzu Forums ------  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Talk  Isuzu 4x4 & SUV Tech  Isuzu DieselsKia Forums ------  Kia Talk  Kia Sportage & Sorento TechOff Topic Chat ------  4x4 Gallery  Off-Topic Chat  Recreational Access & Land ...  Politics4xForums ------  Outdoor Gear  General 4x4 Discussion  Tools and Fabrication  General Communications  Amateur Radio  GPS and MapsParts Bin ------  Private Party - Garage Sale  Private Party - Items wanted  Vendors, Hot Deals, Group Buys4x4Wire Back Yard ------  Suzuki Forum  AZ Crawler Crew  Cal-Nev Crew  General Ford 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Dodge 4x4 & SUV Forum  General Chevy 4x4 & SUV ForumFeedback & Testing ------  Problems, Questions, Suggestions4x4Wire Staff ------  Forum Moderators  Problem Threads Print Thread Switch to Threaded Mode 5 Excellent 4 Good 3 Average 2 Bad 1 Terrible View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Follow User Forum Posts View Profile Private Message Homepage Follow User Forum Posts
