In Australia 275/70R 16s are the largest you can have on a 16x7

Size Lineup

This is not close enough to the Rolling Diameter wise, in comparison to LT235/85R 16 that are standard.

265/75R16s are the closest match.

According to BFG themselves the minimum rim width size for 285/75/16 is 7.5 inches. Boosts are 7 inch. However this said I know quite a few people who run them on boost. I run mine on 8.5 rims.

Not the Steel standard wheels, but modular of the same size!

They do fit the freestyle (?) alloys as well

Thanks.. My dealer told me it would be no problem, where he then suggested something about 20 cm id enough or somthing... ??? I'll have to wait until the tires that came standard with my 110 are finished before i go for a set of new tires.. I can't believe that the standard ones are such good running tires.. crap int he mud but great ont he roads.. not much wear after 30,000 kms either.. I can burn threw a set of BFG on my old Patrol after 15,000 kms.. maybe it's the size of th etire that makes the difference..

I might get myself a set of BFGs for Winter with new Black Rims.. adn keep my Michelins for Summer and road use.
