    Not sure if they are wrong.

    Is from tyre manufacturer, States 235/85/16 Diameter 807mm

    265/75/16 Diameter 802mm

    285/75/16 Diameter 830mm

    I didn't think the 5mm would worry me?


    or Calculating it...


    235 x .85 = 199.75
    199.75 x 2 = 399.5
    399.5 + 406.4 = 805.9mm


    265 x .75 = 198.75
    198.75 x 2 = 397.5
    397.5 + 406.4 = 803.9mm


    Maybe some tyre brands are different?

    I hope these ones i am buying are correct in their calculations.

    I could be wrong, let me know.

    Thanks Chad
    That will probably be OK if they are that close in measurement. What brand? Just from personal experience with bfgs - my 235s measured ~32" fitted, my mates 265s measured 31.5 fitted (both on a 7" disco rim).

    A 7.50x16 would be even skinnier on the front.

    I don't "get" Land Rover drag cars / hot rods etc.
    Then again, I don't "get" people who convert Cadillacs to 4wd either (there was one doing the rounds years ago).

    Still as they say "Whatever floats your boat" !

    Chad
    I can"t help but notice the lack of pics in this thread ? Is the project "in progress" If so... don't leave us hanging !

    Oh and if you put your location in your profile it can help people answer questions for you like where to get such and such, so it's handy to do.

    Good luck with it.

    Cheers

    Drag car is built, it on another thread on here...

    I can take some of the Hot Rod one, very soon, probably over the weekend...

    Will take a few months to finish, but on the way.

    Thanks Chad

    I also have a new 04 Dual Cab Defender, that does me for the BUSH, Fraser Island, and the Beach trips.

    Guess i just like different stuff, and always have Loved Landys, would be a Boring world if we all liked the same things, and to be Honest, I couldn't be bothered doind an Overpriced, Ford/Chev even old International Utes/trucks are worth a mint. I will probably finish this Project for between 5k-8k. including the Costs of the Purchase, whaich i cannot even buy a Rusted out Body, less engine box etc...

    The landies even have a V8 standard, and what a bonus for me, i aint expecting this to be quick, or anything special, but something I can have a bit of a Sunday drive, use to Tow the race car at the drags, and Keep me busy in the shed.

    To a full 4wder I could understand the idea of why bother, but then again, some people also enjoy Golfing, but to be honest, the only ball i am Chasing around a paddock, is if my Dog can't find it.

    By the way, Im in Bungendore NSW 30 mins East towards Batemens bay.

    I feel the same about golf, stuffs a good walk.

    Chad,

    It sounds great, I do like the rat rods as well. They always in my opinion look like a project still in work, plus you save some money on paint jobs.

    Would love to see photos.

    I've always said that a gold course is a waste of a perfectly good rifle range.

    Rat rods are good - I've always thought why not use chalk board paint then you can change the colour whenever the mood strikes you (and until it rains).

    This thread has made my lunch hour...... Gotta love it when things get heated, and also gotta love somebody doing something different with the green oval.....

    Not my thing for sure (or a lot of others around here it would seem). if I had my way it would be 35 inch muddies, bar work all around etc etc..... That said, if it has a green oval on it, I love it..... would be absolutely awesome to head down to the drag track one day and see a 109 smoke a falcon......

    I have searched your threads for the pics, with no joy...... would love to see what this rig looks like! After all it is the

    and as for Golf...... nuff said!
