    Disco rims on Defender

    I have just purchased 6 disco rims for my Defender. The question is what size tyres do I need to fit to maintain the same rolling diameter as the standard 750 16? My guess is 235 70 16.
    Thanks

    Phil

    235/85/16 is the metric equivalent. A bit wider than the 7.50s but the same rolling diameter.

    As above - 235/85-16

    BUT - if you do any 4x4ing. 255/85-16s are slightly larger - which helps with clearance under the rear diff and traction offroad.

    Phil,

    Disco rims and 235-85X16 on mine, I think Vince had 255s on his when we did the trip last year.
