RE: Off Road Tires on 18" wheels !!
If you are planning on doing some serious wheeling, get rid of the 18" wheels, they tear up too many tire sidewalls of the road. Consider selling them thru one of many of the Rover forum classified sections where you will also see people selling 16" factory wheels.
As for tire selections, 16" tires are everywhere in so many different tread designs, much more s then the 18"ers.
Are you going to lift your truck? Have you been wheeling before and know what tire and size you want?

RE: Off Road Tires on 18" wheels !!
Yeah been wheelin for years, but I hadn't wanted to mess with the stock tires til I wore em out. I have a Toyota FJ 40 Land Cruiser I always hit the mud in, and now a new FJ Cruiser coming. However I and my wife want to do more serious tires on the Rover because it looks a bit whimpy with the regular tires it came with even though it still does really well off road in rock and sand. Can I get some cheap steel wheels at some place like Pep Boys and stick some rubber on there, or does Land Rover make it so you can't put aftermarket wheels on their products?
Thanks!
Thanks!

As for wheels, the best way to go is get on one of the Rover forum classified sections and go shopping. Steel wheels are available for mid $70 range if you want them, do not use aftermarket wheels, you will have off set problems.
What about a lift, are you going to raise it, will make a difference on tire size options?

Thanks guys. I need the tires/wheels before this weekend, so mail order is probably out of the question. I'm going to Pep Boys to see what I can get
