Exmoor Beast Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 will 225/75x16s fit standard Series three SWB rims? Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuzurover Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 They will fit (but not reccommended AFAIK). A wider rim would be better - e.g. 235s should be fitted to 6-7" rims. But should not really be a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 short answer, yes but they might pop off, thats not very helpful was it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isuzurover Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 short answer, yes but they might pop off, thats not very helpful was it Why would they pop off? If anything, running a tyre on a rim that is slightly too narrow is better offroad, as the rim is protected from rocks and the tyre holds on the bead better. for example. I run 285/75-16s on 7" wide disco rims (narrower than reccommended). I run the tyres at 8-9 psi offroad (often on rocks), and have never had one pop off the bead.

Tonk Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 i did say might cos i was unsure, although 225 would be at almost 9" wide and i think swb rims are 5 or 5.5" wide, so probably not the best combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 so crudely speaking 225 being 95mm more than 135 (5.5"ish) is better than 285 on 175mm rims which is 110mm over. Am I any the wiser? errr..... Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will The best idea is to look at the manufacturers minimum rim widths: http://www.bfgoodrich.com.au/index.php?a=t...off_road_suv.67 This is pretty typical - note it gives a minimum, reccommended, and maximum. 1/2" narrower that the reccommended is usually fine. I would not go more than that. SWB rims are 5" aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 right found out eventually, I need 6" rims at least. I am pretty sure SWB rims are 5.5" as you said Tonk... better check.... Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will As above - I am pretty sure SWB rims are 5", LWB are 5.5". Rangie steels are 6", disco steels are 7". 225s would be fine on 5.5" wide LWB rims.

Diff Posted January 23, 2006 Share Posted January 23, 2006 will 225/75x16s fit standard Series three SWB rims?Will Hi Will, Minimum recommended rim width for those tyres is 6 inches. Original SWB rims are only 5 inches wide. LWB rims are 5.5 inches wide. You may get away with them on LWB rims. Many owners have 235 width tyres on LWB 5.5 inch rims with no poblem.
