I reckon the 18" only comes in one size - 285/60/18.
N Woods is running these [see last post on previous page for link to check out]
Don't have the pricing, would need to check it out, but I'd reckon about £110.
If you're def interested let me know and I'll get exact quote.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

How thick is the sidewall and how far will they protect the alloy? Won't you be worried about damaging Stormers Ron?2007 Porsche Boxster (987) 2.7

Chris, don't know the thickness of the sidewall.
They're a bit of an unknown here in the UK.
But it does have a load index of 116.
Not overly concerned about damaging stormers.
Will just paint them in situ if damage occurs
I'm after one wheel-one tyre'.
I want to have the correct tyre on for all times,
and to stop faffing around with wheel changes.
But might even just stick with the MTR's instead.I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

The sidewall is 3-ply IIRC. Strong enough for rock crawling, according to guys in the US. I could be wrong but think the 285/50/20 actually has a taller sidewall than the standard 255/55/19 tyres - giving more clearance and you keep the looks of a 20" rim.

i am running these tires in a 285/50R20 on a set of range rover supercharged rims on my LR3 they are around 2 inches bigger at 31.5 inches than stock size and a great tire off road. The added sidewall and width protects the rim too. it required a 7mm spacer just up front to install them.

Noah, do these wheels have the same offset as Stormers?
The stormers sit quite proud of the D3 [per pics in gallery] so I wasn't expecting any fitting issues?I was a normal heterosexual chap, but in these new woke awakenings I now identify as a Wardrobe.

Just an update from myself and what iv found. Got a quote of €245 inc vat from a tyre place near where i work for the cooper zeon LTZ's in an 18". The only thing is id have to allow 6 weeks for delivey from date of order as they coming from the States. Ronp have you made any head-way on this. you said you could get a quote for the 18's delivered. Can you do that? if there going to be that price i wont be shellin out! 07 Discovery 3 TDV6 Commercial (Java Black) with:
