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!
I am looking at the exact same setup. Any inputs would be great. Has anyone done this? I am looking at BFG KO2 tires.

You can run the 1 inch or the 1.5 inch so long as you don't have the large mud flaps.

Question about changing tire size on my new 2022 V8 Carpathian Edition. I’ve seen on this thread that most of you run 33s on a 20” wheel or smaller. I have the 22” wheels. I’ve noticed that almost everyone with a 22” wheel runs a 285-45-22 tire. My question is why not a 285-50-22 which would be closer to 33”?

I’m interested in 1” Johnson Rods but not seeing any examples in normal height. I’m also only interested in keeping my 20” OE set up. And can you use 1” with classic mud flaps? Any examples of what ride height would be and if classic flaps are okay would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I didn't see an answer to this, does anyone know if 275-65-20 will work with 1.5" rods or 2" rods? Also - how is the ride quality with 1.5" rods vs stock on road - and in off road height? Big difference or not a big deal? Thanks!

285-50-22 is 33.2 inches and may get some minor rub. This is why for the 22 most go with the 285-45-22.
