Thanks for sharing that video.

im gonna be a guinea and go big. Will report back next week!

 

I run a 32.6" (265/70 R18) KO2 and they are whisper close to rubbing. This is the absolute max height you can run with no lift and/or wheel-well alteration. Oodles of examples in the no lift thread same for the 33.1" size in the lift thread. Before donning your lab-rat hat I'd have a peak at the raft of data there. The Wildpeaks run a bit bigger than KO2.

A heat gun and baseball bat to mold the well, trim off a few of the plastic air vents and you might be good without a lift but it will be a squeaker.

 

Zero rub anywhere and they are awesome.

 

Cool looking V8

This is very interesting. I've not seen anyone be able to run a 33" tire without a lift. 1.5" usually. I'm curious what's different here.

 

I did not want to run lift rods and I spent a bunch of time working with the Land Rover dealer parts department to find the right size. Shout out to kevin at land Rover raleigh.They installed them and checked them at all heights and at full lock. They have been great and the road noise so far has been minimal. Great off-road to so far!

 

That's really good to know. I would have bet the farm they were 275/55 R20 to fit with no lift or wheel well mod. Thanks.

 

Excited to hear how they fit. I've got the dreaded 19" wheels now and looking to get a new set up. Would prefer to not have to grind/swap the calipers since I have a P400 so I'm leaning toward the 20's. Coming from a jeep it seems crazy to do anything offroad in these so if the 275/60 work in the Falken that would be great! Atleast there's some decent sidewall.

 

agree your V8 looks amazing.

how is the on-road noise level of the Nitto Recon compared to the stock Goodyear tires in your opinion?

 

So far I have noticed no additional road noise. But they are new and supposedly road noise grows over time. I did read that the Recon is using all of Nittos new technology and supposedly will remain quieter? No idea but so far I really like them! Took them trail riding in Asheville and they were awesome and on highway I love them. They also look pretty sweet.

 

With these almost to big of tire options what happens when snow, slush freeze into an ice block in the wheel well and mud guards?
