18 inch rims and bigger tires / or MT tires

Who is running the stock Rover 18 inch rims with bigger tires or MT tires. Can you please post pictures.

And please, no comments as to why. I'm fully aware of the drawbacks of going this way instead of a regular 16 or 17.

Look at FourByLand's build thread. He ran 18's on stock wheels for quite a while and there was some discussion about it in the thread. He also painted the wheels and they looked goooooood!
There are pics too.

I have 18's on my disco and have had no problems yet. I don't do any extreme rock crawling so they've done fine for my needs so far. I'm running a 275/70/18 which gives me a decent amount of sidewall. I'd like to get a set of 16's as a second set eventually but don't have the room to store them and I got all 4 tires dirt cheap. If you're going to get new tires anyways and can line up a set of 16's I'd say go for it.

I've got a set of 18s, stock tire size running nitto terragrapplers and a set of 16s running 33s.

Post pics in a bit, with the 18s and all the lift it looks really wonky.

If you're driving a D2 I'd go 275/65/18 Maxxis Bighorns w/a 2" Lift. Sorry, no pics. There's a thread on DWEB some where with pics of lifted D2s and a lot of 18" examples. FWIW I bought a set of five 16s for a hundred bucks when I has a D2.
