T1G UP Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Want some wolf rims for my 90 and also some tyres for off roading etc. Looking @ 235 / 75 / 16 insa special track. Quote
q-rover Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 They will fit, but they will look like wheelbarrow wheels. Get some 235.85x16 instead. No mods needed as this is a factory fitment size. Quote
T1G UP Posted October 31, 2007 Author Posted October 31, 2007 do you mean 265's ??? Want plenty of clearence in the arch and steering lock ,with spacers maybe, for my off roading antics. Quote
BogMonster Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 235/85R16 and 265/75R16 have both been factory sizes though the 265s are no longer fitted. Quote

Width isn't a real issue here,i'd like a tall tyre but not that wide and as stated want it on wolf steel rims for strength etc. Whos stocking these tyres cheap at the mo? Quote
JST Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 if you want a tall tyre then surely 235/85s are the way to go over 235/75s, arent the latter disco size tyres? i am running 255/85s on wolf rims so cant see that you will have a problem with 235s. 265s though are too wide i believe. What are you running currently? insas have a hell of a lot of grip sometimes too much. Quote

As for my usual tyres there just plain old 205 at's.We trail with insa'a on a mates truck so i quite like them but i'm open to suggestions.There grippy and self clearing and cheapo but i've not seem them in the size you have.

LandyManLuke Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 Width isn't a real issue here,i'd like a tall tyre but not that wide and as stated want it on wolf steel rims for strength etc. 235/75 isn't tall. 235/85 sound like a better bet. Quote
JST Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 255.85 BFG MTs i am running. Insas are a good, the simex tread pattern has already proved its worth, as per suggestions it just depends what you want to do in the truck, if your greenlaning and play days then i would go with MTs. theres alot more enjoyment from driving a section on MTs against a grippier tyre you just need to think more. If it competition then Insa are good but you will then be on the low in height side of things for under body clearence if everyone else is on 35"!s Quote
western Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 ^^^^ as JST also run 255/85 BFG MT's on Wolf rims B) you can see them below Quote
Monster Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 ^^^^ as JST also run 255/85 BFG MT's on Wolf rims B) you can see them below Do you have a lift kit fitted? HD springs? Other bits? Just wondering if my ExMod 110 would look similar if i fitted 285/75 16 wheels. (similar hieght). Cheers. Quote
SteveG Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 Here's 255/85 16's on a stock height 110.. Cheers Steve Quote
Mark Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 FYI... Comparison of a 235/85-16 Insa Turbo vs a 205/16 Mud terrain. The insa's come up at just under 33" when new. hth Mark Quote

leeds Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 Looking at the tyre on the right, is it a BFG MT? Looks like it has holes in for studs. So is it a snow tyre? Or a M/S tyre? I have no experience of snow or M/S tyres I run 255/85/R16 on black mods on two of our trucks. A good all round tyre with a possible life of 50,000+ miles (As long as you don't slash the side walls!) Regards Leeds Quote
