Hi guys. 
I've been out and bought a 90 tonight.  It's got Range Rover 3 spoke style alloys on it.  Am I right in thinking I can put 235/85x16 tyres on it, and it'll be fine on stock supension?

Mud-muncher1:
That size should be ok on a standard 90, but not 100% sure, i've got that size on my disco but it's got a 2" lift

MuddyMachine:
They will be fine, you can bigger still, so don't worry

Any pic's?

Mark_Solesbury:
Woo Hoo

they are well good.

You can fit 255 85 16's ok.

The wheel arches on a defender are a fair bit bigger than those of either a range rover or discovery.

The 3 spoke alloys are 7" wide so you could fit a wider tyre than a 235 on the if you wanted such as a 265/75R16 which are just as common and are also a factory fitted size. If you do fit bigger tyres then check the steering stops are set correctly, other wise the bigger tyres may rub on the radius arms.
