Bfg Mud tyres
SteveG:
Fit 255/85 16's. Get diff clearance of 33.5" tyre, with slightly better turning circle.
On standard height these will slightly rub on rear plastic arches at the bottom on each side. This can easily be solved with a slight trim.
Cheers

Cheers guys for the info, so i want bfg mudterrains on boost alloys, what size will fill the arches and not rub? the veihcle in question is a landrover 90 300tdi. xx
SteveG:
LR alloys are not good as the have a small off-set.
By 'rub' do you mean radius arms on turning front wheels or wheel arches when off-road? If former, you can stop any size from rubbing by adjusting steering lock stops, downside is your turning circle is reduced.
If you plan to use it off road a lot I wouldn't put alloys on. Sell them and fit MT's with steel modulars that have a decent offset. Sell the alloys on ebay. If you want it for looks only do what you like. :wink:

cheers steve, much appreciated. Yeh i use it for work so i dont do serious off roading, just the odd greenlane. I wanted the wheels and tyres fitted to the td5 landrover from the factory, are they boost alloys? what size would these be? xx
SteveG:
The latest Defender models with alloys are on Boost alloys. The come from the factory shod with 235/85 16 General Grabber TR which is a road biased Snow and Mud tyre.
Cheers
Steve
