- 18” all-terrain tyres
very clever site that
What did it recommend?
I think others have used that tyre size and they fit, (obviously depending if it's lowered and to what extent), but your friend should also consider the effect that a 7.4% increase in tyre circumference will have on the van's gearing and braking capabilities as well as the speedometer being out.
For sure. He should have also considered whether they would fit BEFORE he bought them! pmsl
265/65/18 is a huge tyre, OEM 18" size is 255/45/18, Doubt that would even fit under the van, see below.
Stitches and steel go for 235/55/18 on their 18" steels AT tyres, 'The Steel' Wheel FAQ's

All terrain tyres - recommendations and pictures
hi all, does anyone have all terrain tyres on their van? I love the look but am interested in how loud they are compared to smoother tyres and if there are any other draw backs people have encountered, thanks
They actually do fit.... Just!
I today fitted Tamar "smoothie" wheels shod with Falcon Wildpeak 255/55R18 tyres and they fitted fine with no rubbing or issues.
Bought from the a link on the forum. [Sold - Banded one piece wheels 18”]
No spacers were required which was a surprise.
I'm yet to put any miles on them, but this worked well on a T6.1 which is lowered 50mm with KW1 coilovers.
I don't think this would work at all well with a lowered van without coilovers, as as the springs are narrow and provide a minimum of 10mm of clearance.
Thanks to @Lee C for the wheels. Chuffed to bits with them.
You got any pics of them?
Falken AT3 235/55/18 ….£250 for 2
Unless I'm missing (very possible!) something yours are bit pricey.
Demon Tweeks appear to be selling the same tyre at £115.96 each, plus delivery "from £1.33".

These are photos of the wheels fitted, but when I refit my summer wheels I will get the smoothies powder coated in grey/silver and the hub caps painted gloss black.
