Decided to get a set as I love em.

Not sure whether to get 285/50 r20 (4% diameter too big) or 275/45 r20 (1% too small)?

My head say's closest to Standard but my heart says 285,s......

Help

Please let us know how you get on with them as they look great, and my friend has grabber at's on and he recons they are great in a field and dry tarmac but positively dangerous on wet tarmac. If everything is under control you are not going fast enough.

I've got 275 on mine and they are really great, also in the wet and with all these leafs on the road I can take these winding roads in the woods down here at a speed that is n't legal..
But they are noisy on the tarmac compared to standard road tyres.

i think you have your calculations wrong Gary, the '285 50 20' comes out at 30mm bigger..

..and the '275 45 20' is 7mm smaller,

Gary, I'm pretty sure there is a bigger size Cooper LTZ that rubs on the fuel filler lump... Seabass runs both 22" 305 40 22" LTZ's and has to fit spacers & modify the filler lump... He also runs 285 20" tyres for the winter (from memory) so might be worth a PM to him as to weather the fitting mods were ONLY done for the 22" tyres or both sir

Thanks Stan I think I meant 4% & 1 %

From Memory I know the 305 20" rubs but not certain about the 285....

Should look even more like this L322 designer sketch:

I still run 275/55/20 Zeon LTZ in the winter. They are huge! Yes I know they're too big, bought from a forum member a few years back, anyway , excuse to post this again:

Mr.Tee that setup is perfection. I have 19" Cooper LTZ's on my Range and after seeing yours I need to bump up to 20"
