Thank you Nanozic. The 275/55/20's work (no rub) without the lift... was adding the lift to your tire/wheel size worth it (considering it was unnecessary)? One of the reasons I'd like to add the 1.5" is to accommodate a slightly larger tire and of course b/c it looks bad ***!

I'm not running a lift with my setup. If I were to run the size you're looking at, I would. Although I don't get any rubbing at normal height with not lift, I did take a heat gun to the front of the fender liner to push it out and get a little more clearance because sometimes at full turn lock the tire would 'kiss' the fender liner..

Default 1" Lift w/ 33" tires

I've scoured the forum and i'm sure I missed it somewhere.

I have a 2020 Defender 110 SE 6 Cylinder. Front & Rear mudflaps.

I want to put a 1" lift on the truck and go with 275/60/20 wheels/tires. Will I have any rubbing or issues based on what everyone is seeing?

Thanks!

Just put 1.5" Johnson Rods on the 30th Anniversary Edition. No others mods. Already looks better (picture is taken with the Defender at Normal ride height), rides just like factory to me. Installation took 30 minutes for all of them in the garage. Will be installing larger tires soon!

Looks real good. I had a customer that recently replaced his steel wheels with the following wheels from our website which have more offset for a wider stance.



Check out the wheels here: Land Rover Wheels

Customer chose to go up to 20s? On that truck? Seems an odd choice.

I'm not throwing stones, because I've done a LOT to change my Defender to look the way I wanted it to look. So, I say it with respect - I think they changed it more for the looks of the 20"'s than knowing / caring about the off-road performance loss. A lot of folks (including me) have done a lot to drop from 20's to 18's. He decided to go the other way.

Caveat: I'm assuming those are in fact 20's. I can't tell from the pic.

Yes, they are 20's he just did not want the 18 inch steel wheels it came with.
