What size tyre on 3 spoke alloys ?
buster uk:
Hi all,i have done a search through all the old posts but i cant get my answer.
What i would like to know is,whats the largest tyre i can fit on the standard 3 spoke rangie wheel ?
I think i am going for BFG M/T tyres.My car has air suspension but i am thinking of getting rid as it will only work at standard height and is past its best,so a 2" lift is on the cards.Just wondered what will go.
Ive noticed 235 85 16 seems popular ,265's look good on defenders,id like those but i suppose i need better ground clearance so maybe a not so wide but taller tyre .
Your sudjestions please,
thanks

Ours came with something stupis like 285/70/16s on 3-spokes and it wouldn't go round corners. 235 is about the biggest I'd fit otherwise it's over-tired (and I don't mean yawning).

235 85 ?
Over tired ! lol

Sorry, spelling misteak, should have read over-tyred. If hte tyre is too big for the rim then you get no feeling in the steering, the rim turns but the tyre doesn't etc etc, it's not a good experience.

ok thanks,i suppose it would be quite noticeable when sharp cornering.
So 235 85 16 then ?
I seen a rangie the other day and the tyre size seemed to be imperial !
It read 31 10.5 15. What size is that in normal tyre size :?
