Unusual tyre question

(1/4) > >>

Cal:
Hi guys - not the usual tyre size question for you - instead of the biggest tyre to fit a defender, I need to know the smallest...

Will something like 195x50R16 fit onto say a disco steel rim? I need to lose about 10cm of height to fit a 90 in to my garage (if I can ever afford to get one!) so am thinking about a set of rims with any old car tyre on which will allow me to get the 90 in and out of the garage and then I can change over to a proper set of wheels/tyres before heading off onto the public highway.

Thanks

Seems a lot of messing, just to get your LR in the garage.
Just think of all the time you're going to waste everytime you get it out, changing tyres/wheels, etc :huh:

Have you yet to afford a garage or defender, if its a garage, then build a bigger garage! if its a defender, then work on it outside and use the garge for drinking tea in and storing crap, thats what 90% of us do!

Dave K:
I know that feeling well! :roll:

Cal:
LOL - thanks for the replies guys. Have the garage already - unfortunately it's part of a row of garages and can't really be modded! S'pose I could fit a different style of door to gain an extra couple of inches of head room.
