Doesn't have to be, he asked about BFGs and they're generally overall better tires, especially when quality control is considered.

You should also consider the Goodyear DuraTrac, 265/75/16.. I've been running a set for almost 2 years now and 1 year here is Colorado. Its a tuff tire. May of the Jeep guys I go out with on weekends have the same tire.

Call me picky, but I don't like the idea the word "wrangler" being advertised anywhere on my Rover but for the sake of argument which tire do you guys think is better? The BFGOODRICH Commercial Traction or Goodyear Wrangler Dura Tec?

The answer to that question for me would depend on what mall I where to go mall-crawling at.

Those are 17 inch wheels. I've been interested in them before. They should have been the stock US DII wheel imo. They would be nice to have but you could get 16inch steel wheels and nice tires for much cheaper.

The catalog says they are 16"

I posted a screen shot a few posts back.

Yeah Jafir is correct here and I just double checked the website where I placed the order for the wheels to confirm they are in fact 16" wheels. They should ship out from the warehouse tomorrow! OEM LAND ROVER WHEEL FACTORY ORIGINAL RIM 72181 RRC002120MNH | OEM Wheels

I'll go out on a limb and say there is not one 17" D1/Defender/D2/P38a wheel.....

Order complete and I'm a proud owner of these beautiful 16" LR wheels! I ordered 5 to complete the set. Now I just gotta order the BFGOODRICH commercial traction tires.. Name:  20130806_161650_zps24cd2cf3.jpg

Nice! Did you happen to get a measurement of the width? How much was the total of the wheels?
