305/60/18 Cooper Discoverer STT Pros

Over the moon with my new rubber

Was running BF Goodridge 265/65/18 All terrains but they never really filled the arches.... even with the XTR1 alloys (offset ET10....so sick out slightly more than std)

Thought I’d put a post up as I struggled to find any pics of this size when I was looking....not a lot of info on 18” wheels, so here’s mine for anyone with 18” considering a bigger tyre!

Bearly hear the difference on the motorway, and taking it off road this Sat, but not expecting to be disappointed!

No spacers or anything, just XTR1 18” wheels and Cooper Discoverer STT Pro 305/60/18

That's a fine looking motor love it

They look nice, but if you only wanted to fill the arches why not use 16" wheels with 285/75 on them?

Cheers

Because that would have meant buying new wheels! Bloody rubber was expensive enough...

Not everyone’s taste, but I’m happy....I think it gives it a nice stance....and the width will help spread the load in softer ground....although I admit, I’m splitting hairs there like!

That looks fab! How long have you had the side steps? I had the same ones and they were rusted through after one winter. I think some water got trapped insided whilst wading a river and they rotted from the inside.

Nice, 2" lift as well ??

The OP hasn’t been online for over 1 year, so doubt you will get a reply.

Does it actually go off road. Or only for posing?
