Wide Rims = Narrow Sidewalls
I’m guessing that Land Rover started moving toward large rims only for the “looks”. Of course the look of an off-road truck with narrow little sidewalks is in the eye of the beholder. Im thinking of moving up from my D2 to an LR3 and am wondering if the lack of sidewalls on standard LR3 tires really limit the truck much in most moderate off road conditions? I’m not generally one to install lift kits and all of that. On my D2 I’ve been satisfied with what it can do stock and I’d probably do the same with an LR3. So, are the skinny tires actually really that limiting in most off road circumstances?

I had no trouble fitting Nokian Rotiivas in 265/60r18 with no lift.
taken some hard bumps and have yet to have any rub vertically or turning. added benefit they're A/T tires that also have the snow/ice snowflake rating
