Anyone have 17” Blindo’s fitted?

I’m considering a set of Blindo’s in a 17x8 ET20.

Wondering if anyone has these and if so what tyres they’ve gone for? The wheels will take 265/70 or 285/70 but I don't want to go too big. Photos and opinions please?

Cheers

I have some sitting ready to fit and willmost likely be using 265's..........

BUT due to an ongoing warranty issue I haven't even bothered buying tyres yet as the truck isn't home

Blame Covid apparently........just as well I have numerous other vehicles to use as they won't even give me a courtesy car for the same reason.....

Nice style and they do offer an ET0 from memory BUT they are more expensive than Blindo's and I do prefer their looks

I know the difference is quite subtle but I prefer the Arcasting Blindo.

I thought the Evo was less expensive, although not actually looked at them? 110 DCPU

265/65R17 according to the item description if that's any help.

Purely comparing tyre size to my Bowler 18’s with 265/65 18’s, the 265/65 17 you mention results in a reduced rolling radius. The 265/70 17 is pretty much identical to my current 18” Bowler combination.

I’d say 70 aspect ratio is right for 17’s. I’ll have to do a quick comparison with oem to make sure
