--- Quote ---Hehe, cheers lads. Well spotted sir, they are 7.50 R16, so around the 255/85 size I think, about 32" dia.

closer to 235 /85/16
yours are 32.1"..... .1 of an inch bigger ......than the 235/85's
but 0.9" narrower ;)
amazing this tinternet thingy.... :lol:

Ok, managed to fit them yesterday and yes, they rub everywhere so plenty of chopping needed (Or perhaps a 1" body lift....):)
They are Recip Trail which I believe is a bit of a Mickey Thompson tread rip off. They seem good on the road, not too noisy and no handling/stopping issues so far.
I have 4 x 7.50 R16 and 1 x 335/85/16 as a spare. I probably looked at the same sites as you for tyre sizes so imagine my surprise when I measured them. As you say the 7.50 is only marginally taller but its almost a full inch wider. So I reckon maybe 255/80? or somthing similar. You'd have to see them together to tell but there is a difference.
For those that are wondering, 5 tyres with less than 200 miles on them mounted on 5 new black modulars - a smidgin over £300 on ebay.

boss:
