I like the wheels you have now, really no reason to change them out
I would save the money for other tools

Don't worry about TripleBob, he's got lots of money.   ;D

LOL, I wish!

Like I said, I don't want a bro-dozer, no lift or 35's.  I just don't like the shiny 20" rims that are OEM. I want more tire height and a smaller wheel, and a slightly more off-roady looking tire.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

P.S. White lettering 'IN' correct? So all black on the outside?

But those stupid looking off roads tires are noisy on the highway  :hurl:

^ An all-terrain tire is fine, not much more noisy than a highway tire.  Mud terrain are the ones that are noisy.

Wheels and tires ordered. I went with the 275/70 R18's in the end.

I have a feeling they will take a while to arrive, like March/April time. Seem to be in short supply everywhere.

Sweet.  I don't think you can go wrong with that slight upsize.  It's probably what I'll go with when it's time to replace the stock Michelins (which will be another few years, methinks). 

Did you go with the fake-beadlock Methods and Cooper Discoverers?  Make sure to post up some pics when you eventually get them on there!

Awesome!  If you don't like 'em when you put them on and change your mind, I'll take 'em off your hands for cheap.  Pennies on the dollar.  Good deal!  ;) ;D
