The new KO3 has shown up on TireRack with limited sizes, I imagine more will come with time.

I must be missing something: why doesn't JLR sell a Defender trim with 18" rims and a bigger wheel arch, so folks don't have to do aftermarket adjustments to their new $85K SUV? What's the downside I'm missing to JLR outfitting a Defender with a beefy tire, spacious wheel arch, and correct rim size, to provide the strength and durability you're trying to achieve with aftermarket changes? The bigger tires look awesome, and I'd certainly think Defender is more durable with thicker tires, but I don't get why - given it does seem better - JLR just doesn't offer a trim level that way?

The market does not support the costs of qualifying this configuration
Big tires is more a thing in the US market - globally, especially in the UK, folks go green laning through mud and obstacles, but not rock crawling in Moab

Swapped the rear calipers and installed a set of LT265/70/18 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Minor rubbing at full lock in access height but I’ve heard from others on here that a few thousand miles will wear the tires to the point of no rubbing at all. No issues in normal height. Excited to get these off road once temps start to cool off

I'm curious if you are on coils or airbag. I have the 18" steel wheels which I will keep, but will upgrade the tires at some point, especially before winter, as I'm on coils I want to get the right size with no rubbing.
live had the Falken Wildpeaks before on a Jeep Gladiator and Grand Cherokee and I was very happy with them.
