    Chasing photos of defenders with 265 75 16 KM2's

    Hi all, as stated I am after anyone with pictures of a Defender (110 Cab chassis in particular, but any model will do) that is fitted with 265 75 16 BF Goodrich Mud terrains KM2. I am tossing up between these and the 255 85's but would just like to see how the 265's look. I am well aware of the many posts discussing the pro's con's of each but can't seem to find any pictures that clearly state the tyres are this size. I am sure the photos are there, but when I search this size the results only come up with discussion, no photos.
    I have found a few photo's of the 255 setup, but anymore of these would also be greatly appreciated, just to compare.

    I will be putting the tyres on Disco 1 steelies so if your's are on these rims, even better.
    Thank's in advance

    John

    jskerm, rainman

    there are a few photos here - Landy Build

    Since these photos I have changed the front coils to LR110HD/130 which has brought the front end up 40mm.

    My Puma on 265's. I would love to go to 255's for the bit extra ground clearance and they should'nt rub on the rear coil hats when flexed up being a tad narrower.

    My 255s rubbed on the coil hats on full flex on my 110, they where on 8' rims with -25 offset.

    I want 285/75's on the Puma. Do they work on standard rims. I don't want to buy them then find out they rub.

    The 285's won't go on the standard rims, I am not sure about rubbing but there are quite a few guys running them on here. I think you need quite a big offset but a search will turn up plenty of results I would think.

    I'm running 285/75 R16 BFG Muddies on my 130 (the speedo finally reads right now... ya gota love Land Rovers!!). The front axle is on a 2" lift and they look the part. They will fit on a std rim but it's not recomended. I'm running a set of Compomotive 850 x 16, 5 spoke alloys and use 2 of the std 5 spoke alloys for the spare's. Looking for 2 more Compomotive rims if anyone has some. I'd put a photo on here but photobucket and me don't get on! There's one in my albums tho if anyone knows how to get it from there to here! Worked it out I think!!
