Default 17" Black Rocks and Duratrac tires?

Looking at 17" Black Rock D-window wheels (black) and 315x70x17 Duratrac tires.
Will those 8" wheels work with the Duratrac or should I look for a wider wheel?
Please PM a super deep discounted quote for ordering on cyber Monday.

Thank you!

Thanks!
Just want to make sure before placing an order?

Take this for what its worth but I was thinking 15's and was told they still make them, they are just on backorder for a short time. The guys at DT and DTD left no impression they were discontinued. Since they were out of 15's, I went with the 16's. Good luck.

I ordered 5 of the 15" mb72 rims on Wednesday then received notification that they were on backorder. I called DTD and told they are receiving more the third week of December if I didn't mind waiting, which I will anxiously wait for. I would call them.

Sorry for the delay! We must have accidently missed your last post.

No tires are going to run exactly the same in rolling diameter but an excellent option to run as a spare is the Dunlop Mud Rover (produced by Goodyear). According to the spec sheets this model is 34.8" in diameter just like the MTR w/Kevlar.

I'm not sure why this rumor is still floating around The 15x8 ET-19 MB72 is NOT discontinued and at this point there are no plans to do so
