There are caliper conversion kits out there already. Agreed that it is beyond stupid that you can't put 18" wheels on an 'off-road' truck without modifying it. Fronts are easy, you just have to remove the little bolted on mud scraper thingy. Rears need a conversion or grinding.

i have been trying understand the difference in tire sizing from say a 265/60/20 and a 33x11.5 20
at what point do you move to the actual move to US inch measurement
looking for a new set of tires. saw a pic of a defender running the 33x11.5x 20. it looks similar to a 265/60/20 and the tire manufacture has both sizes
no matter what it looks like i will need a decent size lift to fit them and a conservative offset
any help would be appreciated

Toyo Open Country MTs 295/55-R20 which are listed as being 33 X 12.2 in. on OEM 5098 style wheels fit with no rubbing at all, at any height, with a 1.5 inch rod lift and no spacers.

Pretty sure Lucky8 has a kit for the larger X brakes (at least they gave me a quote for one on my 2020 X). I ended up grinding the calipers (lots of good treads on how to do it). Not that difficult in the end, far easier than swapping calipers, and my truck already has a little wear and tear, so wasn't that worrked about it.

Interesting thanks for reply. Did it originally have 22inch wheels? That seems to be the issue, factory ordered 22s come with larger rotors that don't work with the kits out there I've seen. Talking to Landy service centre atm to see if I can downsize those first and then do conversion, or grind.
