    235's on an 8" rim

    Pat, get a ruler and measure between the beads to confirm the size, and out of curiosities sake, can you measure the back spacing ?

    Pat, according to my BFG chart, maximum width rim for a 255/85 is 8", and a 235/85 is 7".
    The Maxxis is a touch wider in section @ 10.3" than the BFG @ 10"

    OK I have checked:

    On the 130 the rims are marked ANR1534.
    There are also marked 6 1/2 L x 16 x 20,6 (or as near as I can tell)
    and are running Goodyear Wrangler AT's in 7.50 x 16. Unsure about tubes or not.

    On the other hand my 110 iis running 7" Disco steelies with 235/85 16 BFG MT's (tubeless).

    I need to know whether I can simply swap these tyres across onto the opposite rims, especially the issue regarding whether tubes are required for the 130 rims on my vehicle.

    Thank You.

    Vlad - here's a snip from a post on LR4x4:

    .... the earlier 6.5LX16 rims are anr1534 rivetted construction only to be fitted with tubes.

    I dunno who is the QLD rep for Rovacraft (in Perth) - someone will be able to advise...

    anyway, they have the genuine Wolf rims available in the tubeless version, circa $200 a piece...

    don't know

    all they are, are a heavy duty welded 6.5" rim, 20.6mm offset with holes cut around the centre.
    I have six of the buggers and still can't quite work out why people
    (particularly on the pommy boards) go ga ga over them
