Probably not. Looking at the spec sheet for BFG MT a 235/70 of theirs is not reccomended to be fitted to such a wide rim.

I don't know what tyres you are planning to use, and it is possible that the construction of a different tyre would allow it to be fitted to an 8" rim, but you would need to consult the manufacturers spec sheet to find out.

i have a set of 235/70/16 Insa Turbo Saharas if this helps

Not a lot, as there doesn't seem to be any useful information on their website , although it may be there somewhere, but the irritating noises added to the site wound me up.

Perhaps your tyre supplier would have the nescessary data, I would hope that they would be able to answer simple questions like "what wheels are these tyres safe to fit to?"

There again I suppose it ultimately depends on the specification for the original tyre carcass, hopefully all of the tyres you have are remoulded onto the same specification carcass.

I'm not a fan of remoulds myself, something to do with a conversation I had over coffee with the director of tyre research at SP Tyres.
