Try this size guide
It's an American chart, but lists the various modifications required for the sizes.
Conversely, what will fit on a standard set-up :wink:

Is that okay?

He'll need to be aware of the fact that different types and makes of tyres can make a difference.
A 235 70 16 MT won't have the same width as a 235 70 16 AT or normal road tyre.
Others that use the Amazon MTs will vouch for that. I had no problem with 235 70 16 Goodyear AT tyres yet ran into lots of problems with 235 70 16 Amazon MTs.

Also the offset of the wheel can run you into problems.
