(1/6) > >>

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

Range Rover Blues:
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.

buster uk:
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 :?
