Thread: Five New Shiny 17 x 8" BB6 Rims Arrived Today For The D3

Hi Barney,

I now have a set of 265/70/17" KM2's fitted.

Yes at the very least you will need either LLAMs or GOE rods for that size tyre, personally I would be measuring the actual tyre diameter of the 285/70/17 MTZ's before buying them to make sure they will fit.

I checked out 285/70 KM2's for my D3 but chickened out in the end because it would have been very close. Given each tyre brands actual size is usually different the only way to know is to measure each brands size tyre.
