Thanks for all the help guys

I wont loose more time trying to decide between the Toyos and the KM2s, I'll just pick the ones at the better price at the time change tires.
No I just need to decide if I keep my 16x7 modular rims or switch for the Wolf ones...

The regular Defender rims are 6 inches wide, the Wolf rims are 6.5 inches wide and the Discovery I steel wheels are 7 inches wide. All are interchangeable. The BFG tyre spec for LT255/85R16 mud terrains specify a rim width of between 6.5 - 8 inches wide, making the standard Defender steel rim too narrow. I'd say your choice is between the Wolf and steel Disco I wheels. I went with the Disco I wheels for that size tyre because the width is in the middle of the tyre specification.

Actually the std Defender steels are 5,5" wide, quite inadequate for today's standards.
I don't like the Disco steels at all, sorry.

My choice is really between my current Modulars (16x7) and the Wolfs
