i'm guessing you have a 300tdi motor as its a 95 model

what tyre size is currently fitted?

standard is 235/85/16

You cant go MUCH bigger than 235x85 without doing things to the suspension. I know you can get 255x85s on a fresh set of standard springs & dampers but it'll probably rub.

Tyre sizing calculator on the page below (2nd link down) may help you compare tyre sizes.

Im guessing your 110 is a 300TDi (as its a 95 model), or has it had a TD5 transplant???
