SupporterNo issue what so ever - I had the same size on both my discos - rolling diameter is about the same as the standard wheels. (standard were 205/16) When discos first came out, the optional alloys which took the 235s, were very expensive and there were few 16" aftermarket wheels and few suitable 16" tyres. 15" alloy wheels and tyres were cheaper and a greater range - most had a higher profile than 16" tyres so had about the same rolling diameter.
These days things are different - plenty of 16" tyres and wheels.
