I’ve checked the sticky and most of the comments are about 20 inch wheels . was wonfering if anyone has fit 285 tires on 19 inch oem wheels

 

There are literally no oversized 19" tires made by anyone, anywhere, that would fit the Defender. No 285, 275, 265... Will they become available at some point in time? Anything is possible if the Defender keeps selling briskly, but given how virtually no manufacturers out there (other than Land Rover) use 19" wheels on their vehicles in general - let alone off-road worthy SIVs - I would not hold my breath if I were you. Stick to the approved size by Goodyear, that's as good as it gets if you have 19" wheels.

 

10+ years later and we still see the same deficit of supplier attention regarding 19" LR4 tires. I would expect the same for the Defender.

I have concluded that the mfgs. (not solely JLR) make a 19" wheel standard solely so they may sell an upgrade to 20" during the original buying process.

Enjoy!
