Mine are 17" but as with my other RR and previous Disco I will get a second set of wheels for muddies.

Richard, like Jamo has said the Cooper is available in the ST and STT but both are 245/70/17.

If you go with a second set of 17" rims there is also another type of wheel than just the Performance Wheels rim. I know a guy who has talked with GMAX and they have a wheel called M168 -17*8 with 38mm offset and a 950kg load. The 18" LR wheel has 53mm offset and 940kg so the wheel will fit and give you another 30mm overall track with no interference.

Either way both rims are priced about the same (i.e $300ea). Performance Wheels BB6 has a 1400kg load rating. I haven't seen the GMAX wheels except on this website below - looks like a bit of BLING on the D3

There are far too many variables to say that the D2 piked it 8O 8O :wink:

Cheers,

if the D2 had muds it would have been a fair crack with all 3..

In mine, we'd call it a "load of codswallop :!: "

(Well perhaps we'd use different words buy I;m sure you can use your imagination).

I notice they didn't want to show up the D3 by throwing a Defender into the mix...

Hi Richard
Got my latest 4WD monthly yesterday.There is a Mickey Thompson ad,they have 17" tyres listed
How about a Radial Claw 37/13.50R17LT????????
OR if you get 18" offroad rims you could get the 40/13.50R18LT
8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Im sure a man with your talents will make them fit.
Tyrepower is the place for Coopers,OUR Tyrepower is only the man in the add,he doesnt sell them.
For the best price call Richard at Belmont Tyrepower,he also has Richards Tyrepower Osborne park.
He was way ahead in prices when I got mine.
Also when he fitted my tyres,a Landy centrecap came off on the way home,I knew it was there when I left his shop but just rang to ask if he had found it in his shop.He posted a new one out appolagising profusely.Bastard is the same one has gone again.Im told if you loose one you will always loose the same one the replacement needs glue to keep it there.

Hi Richard
Check out Goodyear MTR's,the od pic of the new Rangie pops up from time to time wearing MTR's on stockie rims.

Richard,

The Goodyear MTRs are what they fit to the G4 D3s, so I'd assume they're available to fit? Would be a good choice to the BFG MT.
