Landrover Lads - 235/75/16 on a defender?

[Matthew Arnold]

Dad and i run 235/85/R16 Insa Turbo Dakar (BFG M/T KM1 Remoulds). No problems to report. They used to rub on full left lock but it took about 30 mins to sort out. Looking at getting a set of 265/86/r16 when the current set wear out.

When I got my 90 it came on 205R16, these were upgraded to a cheap set of Disco Tyres 235 70 R16, this gave me good acceleration but lost a little bit on the top end. Now running 235 85R16 Cooper STT's. The 90 still pulls like a train when needed.

As above really, will 235/75/16 BFG MTs fit my defender? Been offered a set at a very good price but have in my head they are Disco sizes?

 

 

 

Cheers

Yes they will fit, but they are really a bit small for a Defender.

 

A 110 will come as standard with 235/85 x 16 which is 23.5mm taller in section than your size (so your diff will be nearly an inch nearer that ground). 235/75 is a popular size on a Disco (the biggest you can fit to a Disco 2 without modifications is 245/75 x 16).

 

If you don't mind that slightly odd appearance, they will be fine.

You can put up to a 33" tyre on a standard Defender set up but bear in mind sizes vary between manufacturers.

 

I have a set of 35" Fedimas on one of mine which are actually 36" when measured. The suspension and brake lines have been lifted.

Having seen a set on a defender today I think they look gay. Really gay.

 

 

 

Save up more pennies for bigger ones!
