Yours definitely looks better. I think the steelies complete it. I’m going to get some eventually. Really liking everything else about this size.

 

Might be the aggressive mud tire. Mine drives fine but all terrain would have been better for a DD. I don't notice much penalty with the weight fortunately. Might actually be better at highway speed. Mpg is same at 13.2 for city.

Head here and post up!

@donniefitz2 love the the wheels. Agree maybe the tires could be wider. QUESTION: Where did you buy the wheels from? I'm currently looking to change my stock 18s with 16s and on the hunt for a good looking wheel - yours look rad. Also knowing what you know now what tire size would you recco for me? Thx!

 

I think you might be mistaking my wheels for the @dswilly steelies? Mine are just factory S model D2 wheels that I plastidipped black. The problem with D2 wheels is, there are very few, almost none, in the aftermarket. I would recommend this tire size for sure (having had both factory size and 285/75's). Everything about it is good. I was also able to test them out off road today and they were great. No issues there.

 

After a bit more research, I that look like they would fit a D2. They don't appear to be for any particular model vehicle. The size is 16x6.5 5x120 72.5 center bore. That width is pretty ideal for 235/85 tires. Offset is +45 so they would be set out a total of 12mm more than the factory D2 wheels (not necessarily bad). I searched around and found a site that said they are rated for 1,367 pounds (5,468 total). Not quite as high as as a D2 needs but not too far off either. They also weigh 22 pounds each, which is pretty light, lighter than the Odyssey wheels at 29 pounds. I might buy one and see what the quality is like.

 

That's a good find. I am not sure how to quantify the weight rating other than match to a vehicle with similar load requirements. Taking 7 pounds out is it by design or material? Who knows. The off set shouldn't be a problem.

 

That additional 7 pounds could be what gives the Odyssey wheels more strength, I guess. Like you said before, it's hard to imagine a steel wheel failing other than bending it hitting some curb or pothole too hard.

 

They may not be as meaty, but I think it looks really nice. I bet some steel wheels would make it "look" more like how you want, and if you encounter a lot of rocks, then steelies are better anyways.

 

Can you confirm this size? 285/75 r16 Correct? They do look way, way better than those 235 IMO. If you’re going off looks then…..I’m squarely in the 285 camp. But it’s all personal preference.

 

The 285/75 size is definitely better looking but other than that, they kinda suck by comparison.
