I'm not sure I follow. 255 is the section width, and all 255s will be the same (excepting the usual variations from one tire make/model to another). The second number is a proportion to the first, so a 255/70 is shorter than a 265/70 b/c the "70" proportion is applied to a smaller number. BFG specs a 6.5-8.5" rim width for that specific tire so it should be within bounds. I'll check out the mudtech options!

Yes, but as you might see, that *255/70 is usually spec onto a narrower wheel. Also, the one you're mentioning is only a load range D, better than S but not built like an E.

It's 32" and that extra 1/4" all around will be what causes the need for all the mods.

You could try it but I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a maybe when there are other better choices.

Wait on the tire, do the mods, and then just go for a 33 is what I suggest, or do basically no mods and get the worry free 31.5" 265/65x18

Thank you for your knowledge and expertise on LR wheels. I am ordering the 265-65-18 with no mods being done. This will be for the LR4.
