    Would a VR rated tire do? Goodyear has a 235-70 VR . They also have a
225-70 that's about $40 cheaper (still VR). Dug this out of my notes. Not
familiar with Duster bolt patterns but Weldwheels has 16 inch  for just
about everything. Look at their DFS & DFS II series. High priced; so much
so that it would probably be cost effective to get wheels exclusively for
LSR .

    Hope this helps
