So I've been wracking my brain going back and forth and read alot of technical discussions regarding this rim size subject and have decided to go with a 17" size due to having BFG KO's in 17's in 245/70/17 and 265/70/17 in the storage for my other truck (non LR)..



What I want to know is what would be the optimal 17" tire size to run on a 2.5" lifted Discovery 1. The offset of the wheels would be et 0 to -20 which I'm looking at.


Currently I'm running Freestyle wheels upgraded from the Caster's and I have 16" offset steels for the Disco1 which are just sitting in the storage and I'd be looking into either new AT/MT 245/75/16 or 265/70/16's but the tire prices aren't much different for 16"s over the 17"s.



Thanks,

Chris
