    Thumbs up Yes Yokohama 285/60/18

    Yes, they will fit. THERE IS NO TRIMMING INVOLVED. I just bought some Yokohama 285/60/18 last week.
    Peace.

    If you don't believe me, the tire place will fit one just to make sure. Make sure to try your practice fit on the front.

    I had the same tire put on my 2000 18" rims. I had to cut just a little of the front cladding so it wouldn't rub in turns. The amount cut off was minimal and the tire store did it for me. You will love the tire, looks and performance. Your take-off (acceleration) will be slightly reduced.
    From Unimog to VX - a serious change in velocity - a small sacrifice in voracity.

    ANyone have some pics? Are the Yoks low profile therefore putting VX closer to the ground?

    No pics here, but I have the Yoks (from MrTews -check his gallery).

    They look a little balloonish on the 7" rims, but no trimming was necessary.
