I am currently running on the standard 235/65/17 on goodyear wrangler atsa allterrain tyres. I do a fair bit of sand driving and thus also wanted to fit 16 ich mags in order to deflate tyres more. I have tried freelander 1 16's but the wheel pcd is not the same. I think that a volvo 16 inch might fit but have not done the excersize- due to the expense i am thinking to rather go to 245/75/17 tyres than changing rims too. Goodyear makes a a/t tyre for the Jeep Wrangler in this size which should lift your clearence quite a bit. In your case you will have to get another rim altogether thus you might as well try a 16inch. When i tried the freelander 1 16inch rims it looks that the rim will fit over the caliper thus i am sure that if you can get a rim with the right pcd it should fit. Have you run you 275's on spacers in order to clear?

I am not sure, but I have heard some talk about the HSE not beeing able to run 16". I think it sounds strange. Could be that it is just the HSE i6.? Like mentioned above we can run some Volvo wheels. I know Ford also has 5x108 on some modells.
I have not been running spacers. It has been one hell of a calculation to get the correct tyres and rims. 20x8,5 with ET40 and 275\45 clears without any rubbing issue.

Here is mine with AT2´s 255*55*18. And Volvo alloys.

Not much noisy at all. Great tires!

Thanks for the pic, it looks great! I just got inspired and ordered Volvo R-Type 7.5x18 alloys with General GRABBER AT2 255/60 R18 112H.
I hope they fit

Waiting for the first snowfall here in Finland within 2-4 weeks..
