I would like to purchase steel 16" wheels for my DII for off-road use,instead of the 18" wheels I currently have. I am having trouble finding a compatible steel wheel with the BMW lug pattern. I have pretty much talked to everybody (ie:dealers, tirerack, Atlantic British, ect.). Any ideas?

Also, how big of a tire can I run on the 16" wheels, as to keep any rubbing from happening. I don't want to do any lifting or trimming. I have been told that the largest tire I can run is a 255-70-16. Any ideas?

I got my steel wheels from AB and the spare from Tirerack.com (they have different offsets). Originally I put 265/75s on the 7" steel wheels and they fit perfectly (OME HD lift) but this might be as wide as practical on a 7" rim. Now I have the 245/75s on the steel, seems like a better wheel/tire fit.
