Off road set of 18"s with Mud Terrains

Bought a few months ago a complete set of steelies with tires and all the hardware ( TPMS/Nuts/Locks/Caps),
from RR UK.

Paintjob done in Dark Grey/Black satin metallic.

I really would have liked to have the 32,6" ( 265/70:R18), unfortunately impossible to find in Europe.
So I went for the 32,1 ( 275/65 R18. 119Q )

Just a Mud Tire from Maxxis, dirt cheap and fresh DOT 2621. ( Bighorn MT 764)

Little noisy on the road... Let's play with it..

Side note: I did have to cut the studs a few mm to accomodate the wheels straight on my spacers from 22/25mm No Mud flaps for my 90.!

Looking good! Did you consider 285/65 R18 BFG KO2's? I have seen an example without modifications (Sterling), It did look really good.

Im trying to find a good set.. AT tyres (+3peak rated) for my extra set of steelies, to act as a winter/off road set. Maybe the BFG Ko2's are my best option.

thx Rob,

They perform excellent in the Mud, downside quite noisy on the road.
Added this week the Bestop Cargo tray on the roof between the Thule wingbar Edge.
So now not only noisy from the tires, but also on the roof.

New set on 5094 18" Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain plus

Mounted my 3rd set today, for Autumn + Winter ( more comfort, higher average speed, less noise + Fuel , safer )
275/65R18.
Did some run in today for testing, passed.
Let's see how they hold up.

How does one go about cutting the studs ?

Truck looks awesome!
