    Wheel Diameter - Defender

    G'day guys,


    Just after the standard wheel diameter for the Defender 200? I understand it to be 32''?

    Am about to slide a set of 32"x10.5R15 BF Muds on....was going the 33's but heard it will not like it on the highway on hills....as l do a lot of heavy towing this would not be good for me!!!


    Cheers,


    Mike

    235/85/16 are just under 32" from memory ...

    you can work it out.

    calcualte sidewall height = 85% of 235 mm = 199.75 mm
    convert that to inches = 7.864173 inches = height of one sidewall
    double that ( 2 sidewalls ) = 15.72835 inches
    add that to the wheel diameter
    16" + 15.7285" = 31.7285" total diameter

    ( er- i think )

    33" on a TD5 Defender should be Ok ....but what do i know i am only a Disco owner ( at the moment )

    Yep - 32". 7.50x16 is mathematically 31" but all 7.50's are really 32".

    I could barely notice the difference when I had 33's on my 110.
