They're 18x8 and I've plumped for BFG AT 265/65R18 on them.

I was all set to for the Manta wheels until our local "security specialists" turned up with a set on their Defender Evil or Very Mad
Didn't want associated by similarity so that left me the JE Apollo or the Bowler wheels for mine!!!

Nice, should look smart with them tyres.

Mine arrived yesterday sitting in the garage now, im going to get them on the car Thursday, problem was sourcing the tyres. I ordered the tyres (same ones as your getting 265/65/18 BFG AT's) last Thursday and the garage said they would have them Monday (£195ea fitted and balanced) best quote i could find, garage called today and there was some issue with delivery so its this Thursday for fitting now. Il post some pics when they are on.They have a centre cap with yellow maxtrac stickers on im not a fan of, il either remove/paint over if they dont look great.

nice one!, im on the fence to be honest, my gut says without looks better though, maybe paint the small bit exposed in the middle blackm what do you think looks better i guess if you were thinking about getting the maxtrac ones you akready had a plan for with/without centres Very Happy

I'd be going without, clean and paint the hub then fit and plastidip spray on the wheel nuts to make the whole setup black Cool


or get Wrington black coated nuts Laughing

the nuts that came with the wheels are already painted black so it'll just be the hubs to paint, i think that's the plan!

Ah I had assumed that the nuts were re-used, that's what I need to do with the bowler wheels!!! A wee can of plastidip is in my future after they're fitted!!

I saw Gary Woods 90 when we were down for the remap on my 110 and the Mantas on his looked amazing without the caps, he had crammed a set of 285/60R18 Cooper Zeon LTZ tyres under his arches, looked well!!

they defo look really smart,

i was actually going to go 285 BFG AT's but after speaking to the guy at TMD i changed my mind, apparently the 265's fit better and i have read others that have fitted 285's saying they would of went 265's if they rewound time as less spray up the side and easier to balance IIRC, my plan kinda evolved from 285 KM2's to 265 A/T's, im 50% sure it was the best choice Laughing

also standard size nuts dont fit on the Maxtrac's so i guess thats why they supply them.
