Wheels and Tyres for offroading

What kind of wheels should I get to do some offroading?

By default the RRS came with the 20" wheels, so should I get a set of 19" and some M/S BFG tyres?

And what would be the price?

BFG don't make a tyre that will fit into the RRS wheelarch - if they did I would have a set tomorrow because the BFG All Terrains are very good tyres to run on all the time. I have both All Terrains and Mud Terrains for my 90 and wouldn't use anything else. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

BFG have just introduced a 265/65 R18 All Terrain out, should just fit. Or there's the 255/60 R18 Grabber AT2

They are difficult to get but I managed to get a set, my better half's son knows where to get them here in Belgium I'll give him a call and find out.
the tyres look good on the RRS Cool

Slimer, cheers for that - unfortunately 19" is the smallest size those with Brembos on their RRS can fit and still have clearance on the calipers. Do you know what the speed and load ratings of the BFG's are? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Load rating is 122 so within spec for the RRS/D3, speed rating is R (170kmh/106mph) so good enough for UK speed limits

If you're limited to 19" or more say go for the MTR's then, I run them all the time on my D3

Thanks Allicat Thumbs Up

They don't look bad at all on the RRS but I might keep the 20" for day2day driving and the 19" M/S for winter and offroading. 08.5 RRS TDV6 HSE Java Black/Alpaga - Cold Climate Pack - Privacy Glass - Bluetooth - Sunroof - 20" wheels - Rubber Floor mats.
