Default Wheelsize on this picture.

Does anybody recognize this Discovery? I am curious about the tiresize, I know that it is Hurricane alloys 18" but how big tires are there.

Those are definitely 18" wheels. I am not sure what the tire size is though. Just spend some time on Tire Rack and see what they have in the size sections and look under the specs to get a size that would work.

I would take 15" rims if I could. I like wheeling on more rubber less metal.

I am trying to decide whether to go for 265/75 16 or 265/65 18. I really like the looks on those black hurricane wheels. Here is a picture of BFG 265/65 18 and a 2" lift. I must say that the wheels look bigger on the black car or?

I think it is because it is all black. Plus the thin lines of the Hurricanes make it look leaner and bigger.

I am definetly planning on going offroad, but is it a disadvantage in any way to have 18" besides that they are more expensive?
