Default Widest Highway Tires

Good morning,
Wanted to get some suggestions on a 110 build ton wheels and tires.

This 1999 Defender 110 will almost never go offroad, mainly drive around town and highway driving.
Lift will be 0-1" max.
Wheel size 16 or 17" and ideally 10" wide.
I was going to put the Nitto Dune Graplers on them, love the looks and width and obviously much quieter than mud tires (which I love the look, but not the noise) - was going with 305 wide on 10".
Would very much appreciate any suggestion on aggressive "looking" tires that are 285 or 305 wide, with minimal noise on the highway.
Much appreciated it.

305's would most likely rub, while turning. I've got a 2" lift and my 285's have plenty of space inside wheel-well, but rub slightly on full lock while turning.

Now, what style rim/wheel you're running could solve that issue...depending on negative or positive off-set...or if you plan on using wheel spacers.

Good luck, post up a picture of your rig.
