Who’s running a Tuffant steely on their LR4? I’m wanting to run the 274/70r18 and need to know If ET44 will allow clearance on inside…steering knuckle,etc. Or if using the ET27, do you encounter problems on the outer edge as the steering radius angles are greater and further from pivot point? For reference, Terrafirma with ET44 requires a 30mm spacer which I believe puts offset at 14, even wider stance than these ET27 Tuffant, which tells me they should be ok. Thanks for the input and I know there are other figment concerns under the fender(horns, heater lines, SYA spacers, etc.).
LR4 offsets on Tuffant Wheels - ET44 or ET27

Which offset, 44 or 27?
Not sure. I’ll send you a pic later
I’m running the ET27 on a 2013 5.0 LR4… the first tires I had on them was a set of 265/65 KO2s that I took off our other car. No issues with rubbing but the tires had a good 50,000 km on them.
I then fitted 285/60 Geolandar GO15. Great tire but just too much rubbing for my taste. Front tires rubbing on the frame horns at full lock, rear tires rubbing on the top of the wheel arch in hard compression.
Went back to the shop and replaced them with GO15 in 265/60. Preference was to try 265/65 but A) they were not in stock and B) in principle they have the same rolling diameter as the 285/60 so I was still worried about interference with the wheel arches on suspension compression.
Aesthetically the 265/60 look a bit small for my taste, giving the LR4 that skateboard look.
I didn’t know it at the time when I bought them but my understanding is that ET27s are more likely to rub at full lock than ET44s.
I will try to run 265/65 for my next tires.
The steelies are heavy, but they’re well priced. I like the new TuffAnt Kimberley very much.
