Plus they are less $$$ so you can buy a 2nd spare. Ditch those "chrome won't get-cha home" Rap star junk and say hello to the ranks of the Anti-Bling!

Word! I agree to that 100%

Depends on the width of the tire. 235/85-16 and 265/75-16 are a little more then 31.5" tall and 9.3" and 10.4" wide respectively. 245/75-16 are 30.5" x 9.6"

Edit:
Quick FYI on metric conversions.
1" ~ 25.4mm
Metric tires are width/aspect - rim diameter
Tire height = ((W/25.4)*AR)*2 + R

I'm a little concerned how the black rims will look on my white disco..

Any opinions? pictures??

Those rims will look like CRAP on your white disco. Therefore, you should GIVE them to ME. I will not charge you for giving them to me either as I will do this out of the kindness of my heart. You would be doing the Rover community a disservice by putting those on YOUR truck. I would be willing to drive (in shame) with those black wheels on MY truck.

You are truly a philanthropist. As much as I appreciate your offer, I feel I must don these rims despite the shame that I will endure...

Finally put these on...

I've thought about those my next tires size upgrade after these is going to be either 255/85's or 285/75's I like the idea of the 255's better because I think the 285's are a bit wide but look good on a defender. But I can get the 285's as retreads for about half the price of the 255's

But I need to get at least an inch more lift and 4.11 gears with HD axles before the new tires so it's still a long time off. But it's good to have a plan for these things you know.

I have some friends who went away from the 255/85r16 to the 285/75r16 because of the extra width adding stability. I took their advise so I never tried the 255's, but they were pretty convincing. Moab and Colorado mountains are where my friends use their rigs.

I run them on stock rims (alloys because they look better and are well protected by the wide tires even at low psi).

Hope this helps.
