On my defender 130 i have got some michelin xzl 7.50.16 tubeless on my wolf tubed rim's.

My first question is is this allowed, and secondly is it possible to fit 235/85r16 on these tubed rim's without any problems ?????

You can fit tubeless tyres on tube type rims as long as you use tubes. Good quality tubes like Michelin Airstop are recommended, as the inside of some makes of tyre can be slightly rough. Neither Tubeless nor tube type tyres should be used without a tube on a tube type rim.

Wolf rims are 6.5 inches wide and can be used with either 7.50 x 16 or 235/85 x 16 tyres.

7.50 x 16 tyres can be used on rim widths between 5.5 and 6.5 inches. 235/85 X 16 tyres can be used on rim widths between 6.0 and 7.0 inches.

Hope this helps,

As per Ralph's (Western's) reply. Obviously an outlet that does commercial vehicle tyres is a good bet.
