I want to put some RR/RRS factory 19's or 20's on my 05 LR3 SEV8 for winter. Will they fit? Any problems? Any ideas where to get the factory rims tires used?

WHY?????
The larger size tires are far worse to run in the snow, much less way more expensive, harder riding, won't last as longer.
Go to a good tire store, talk to some one who really knows winter tires and see what tire brand to run.

 

DiscoMike is right. Putting 19" or 20" wheels on your LR3 is not the way to go if you are preparing for winter.
Low profile tires mean rougher ride, more expensive tires, and terrible for any off road adventures that you might embark on this winter.
But if you have your mind made up, I have a set of 19" LR3 HSE wheels with brand new Toyo Proxis that you can have for $1000.
I am actually putting 18" wheels on mine, next Saturday when the new tires arrive. Shoot me an email if you are interested.

 

Thanks for the input guys! I will stick with the factory 18's for the winter. I wanted bigger wheels initally because the factory OEM Goodyear tires look kinda small for the overall size of the truck. I know there are a million threads about this out there but I feel this site has some of the best and most experienced Web-xperts.

What are the limits on sizing I can go with?? I do sometimes slam it down to the ground to cheat under the airport parking height limit bars.

How about 265×60x18 = 30.5″ / 275×60x18 = 31″ / 285×60x18 = 31.46″ / 275×65x18 = 32 ?

Looks like im going with the Cooper ZEON LTZ's 285x60x18 or the Nitto DuneGrappler 285x60x18 from Discount Tire Direct since they have two shops local.

285/60/18's are a great size.
Also look at the Nitto Grappler.

 

I agree with 285/60/18 being a great size. I just ordered a set from Discout Tires Direct for under 700 shipped.
DiscoMike shot me some pics of a Silver LR3 that looked great with those tires, thats what sold me.
If you want I can forward them to you, just give me your email.

 

Hey Krisztian, forward them to me as well if you would. I'd like to see what the Zeons look like in 285. rexachluis@yahoo.com

 

To answer your question, yes they will fit. lol

 

Which tires did you get?

 

I was planning on buying a new set of smaller wheels for beefy 32" off road tires for my adventures but there are none that will fit the LR3. I found a company in australia, but Who's going to pay for the shipping?

16's won't clear the calipers. ALSO, the bolt pattern 5-120mm, backspace 6" and offset 53mm of our wheels does not exist with that combination in any brand. SO, I am planning on buying the COOPER STT 285/60 R18. HOWEVER, i worry they will wear too soon. Any experiences?

If anyone has a set 18' five spoke SE wheels and want to sell them cheap let me know bacause that way I could have my coopers in one set and my current General Grabbers AT2 in other set.
