Tire fitment
I've got a 2014 LR2 with 18 inch wheels, running 235/60R18 tires. I may come into some 255/70R18. Same make and model tire. Any problems running that bigger size? On the same wheels? Clearance, rubbing, speedometer? Anything? TIA.

EDIT: Found this thread on freel2.com, Your question peeked my interest:

It would appear you may be able to get a 255/60R18 to fit BUT, do your research!
Here is a comparison calculator:

LOL, I luv this discussion.
As all know, I took a different approach for my off road tires.
Use this tool: https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?whe...cl=50mm&sr=0mm
Many think my off roads are too large. I disagree. And I have the experience of dragging a tractor out of a bog to prove it.
But I don’t care if my speedo is a whopping 5% off.
Mind you, I took a different approach again for my winters. Here we have SNOW, FREEZING RAIN, SNOW, FREEZING RAIN… And temperatures fluctuating between 0 and near -40C. So higher profile tires on smaller rims work best… for the strictly winter rubber, highly siped with microbit walnut shells.
The all seasons are shyte when it dips that low. And feel like Fred Flintstone’s tires.
