So I hadn’t taken the spare tire cover off and I’m seeing an issue here. Anyone know where I can find a key for this thing? Is it a genuine LR part? Jesus 🤦🏻*♂️

I work at a dealer we have lots of cars come with these on without keys, is it the best way maybe not but it works. Just grabs 12 point socket that’s slightly smaller and pound it all the way on then it should come off with some force

Thanks for the tip. Will look out for it. There are a lot of new sets for sale here on Craigslist, but pricey.

18's look better. 16's perform better.

I think 16's look better and perform better.

I have 265 R 16

I agree with you on 16” - I have both sets, the 16” and 18”. Currently, the 16” are getting painted and I will likely use them for off-road but I’m looking for what would be best looking and suitable for my 18” with a 2” Terrafirma lift?

Looking at 255/75/18 and 265/65/18. I think the 275/65/18 would be over kill. Suggestions?

I've got a 2 inch lift and am running LT265/65 R18 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's and love them. No rubbing, great on and off road with amazing tread life.
