this may have been covered before but!!!
i have a 90 and its on it old 6.00 16 tryes, what size can i go to using the standard rims.
or what is the biggest wheels and tryes i can fit with out any mods.
any advise please

Eeyore:
7.50x16 - nothing wider on the standard rims.

As for the biggest without mod..... IIRC 255/85x16 and the imperial equivelents will go on with suitable wheels, but watch for offset on the rims.

cheers

Tyr this guys site for tyre size converters. Also tells you best rims sizes and changes to speedo readings. :idea:

davidlandy:
if you are fitting 255/85x16 then if you are going offroad then you will need to trim the arches very slightly use extended bump stops (mine hit the top of the inner wing on the rear) and maybe give the motor a lift.

thanks for the help so far.
i was thinking  of 235.85 16 would these fit ok with no mods?
i am not sure which rims to buy any advise, how wide would they need to be?
