What is the largest diameter tires that can be fitted onto a stock 18" rim? I've been browsing through all terrain tires and wanted to get a 30" tire like the 255/55/R19 Cooper Zeons but I couldn't find any popular sizes except 265/60/R18 Discoverer AT3s and Adventurer ATs, which have a height of 30.5". Would it fit in the wheel well with no scraping and interference with steering and suspension components?

I BELIEVE that 60 diameter tires will fit if you use an 18" rim but you need to be careful as the seat of the spring on the front is pretty close to rubbing with stock so I wouldn't go up to much. with the width you may need spacers as well as to not hinder your turning and having the tire rub.

  1. 19 inch Rims with AT Tyres and Spring Lift

    Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
    Hi Guys, Just thought I'd share some pics of my DS. Factory black 19 inch rims with 255 55 R19 Cooper LTZ Tyres. I have also done a spring upgrade using Eibach Springs. Total lift is 60mm including tyres. Pics are taken on Moreton Island, Australia. All sand driving. The DS didn't even look like...

  2. Jacks for off-roading?

    Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
    I'm trying to work out what the best jacking option is for my DS when I'm away camping. I will often be a 40+ minute drive away from any hard surfaces if I need to change a tyre or if I need to lift a wheel to jam some logs underneath etc., I really don't fancy using the scissor jack on sand...

  3. Lift plus 255/60R18

    Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
    So I finally got the bigger tires, Maxxis Bravo AT771 together with the lift I got extra clearance 6cm at the front and 8cm at the back and. Much taller tire wall to be able to drop pressure when needed. And I think the taller car now looks great.

    Tires, Wheels, and Suspension

However, there is this one thing that is bothering me and that is when i cross any speed bump with front tires touching the speed bump at the same time there is...

  6. All Terrain Setup with 18x8 and KO2

    Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
    It took me a while to decide what to get and I searched the internet to find photos of a DS with KO2 (or any in 18" all-terrain) but couldn't find any. Although I loved the look of the 20" I wanted to be able to explore more terrain and hesitated going anywhere due to the 20" low profile and...
