nitto tires - Land Rovers Only

scotth · 11-08-2006, 09:50 AM

just wandering if anyone was running nitto tires size 285/60/18 with out a lift. I know 255/55/18 will work but I am planning on getting a lift in the spring but I need tires now. If I go with the 255/55/18 and get a 2inch lift I think the tires will look to small in the fenderwells.

Why are you wanting to go that large, do you go off road alot, have you thought about 16" wheels instead pf 18's and are you ready for a 2 MPG loose if you go that large?

I have 18s on my disco and running the nitto grappler a/t, and am looking to switch down to 16's, save some money and buy 16's and tires

I'm running 285/60/18 with a 2inch OME lift. Bama is right though.... it's not your everyday tire and it's pricey, but MAN, they look sweet...

Jupiter Rover · 11-08-2006, 09:31 PM

yeah i got them too. and there nice. but when they wear down im switching to 16's/ so just skip the 18's and get 16's, because you will eventually.

I have a set of 16" 5 spokes off a dII, looking to sell cheap or swap for a set of 18 hurricains..

drum655 · 11-09-2006, 06:16 AM

looks like you may be on to a deal bama!!!! when can i get those wiper blades?

bama · 11-09-2006, 06:29 AM

i got your blades here at the shop, whenever you want to come by is fine Im here to 5 tonight or if we need to meet up somewhere we can. Yeah i liked to see those wheels, could be a trade in the works, a start to a serious disco build!!!

drum655 · 11-09-2006, 06:36 AM

your disco will be bigger and better than mine before you know it!

bama · 11-09-2006, 06:44 AM

I wouldnt count on that, you got a sweet truck! I have alot of work to do before Im even close to your rig. but I'm trying to catch up, lookin for parts hard.. You ever figure out the evap problem? was it the valve?

drum655 · 11-09-2006, 06:57 AM

i guess its the valve, the Service engine light is back on. Kinda sucks considering i have to drive my truck to Tuscaloosa Alabama tomorrow. Oh well, i should be ok....i just get horrible MPG!

I know... I'm just avoiding the inevitable for $$$$ reasons... I don't feel like paying a million dollars for those Nitto's again either... but I have a set of winter tires in Alaska too so I only put 6 months of wear on em every year....

I may go simulated bead lock 16's when I switch... Check it out...

i like those!

Here is a pick of the wheels, Stock DII 16" alloys. They have Michelin Cross terrain 255-65-16 6/32 or greater in tread depth. I can have the tires removed if request to save on shipping if you are going to put something bigger on. I do have all 5 also and the factory set of lugs (20) only 1 lug is slightly damaged from the wrong size socket from the PO.
