    I found this onthe Leaf Sprung Forum: I emailed goodyear and Mitchelin a few months back to see what they thought was right for the Wrangeler Radial and XZL ranges rather than what others have herd said.

    Largest Legal Tyre Size – Series III 88” with 5.5 Defender Steel Wheels

    BFG 265 75 R16 on Standard 5.5 Defender Rims????

    I have seen series with 265 on them but didnt take too much notice of the size (width) of the rim. Really will 5.5 tubeless rims fit 265 75 R16s or do i need to think of getting some 6.5 rims?

    BFG 265 75 R16 on Standard 5.5 Defender Rims????

    I think it is to do with the width between the rims (being 5.5"). I've spotted a few threads that state the max size tyre to go for is 235 85 R16 for this size rim but I want to be sure before moving forward and trying to fit them or sell the rims. Cheers for the advice
