Could also be 205/16s if on steel wheels.

I've just fitted some silver modulars with 235/70 16s from 205s...they look far far better and the mods have more offset. I fitted Insa turbo Dakars which are a mud tyre...£38.50 from paddock spares. The wheel arches are much better filled but no rubbing anywhere. Can post some pics tomorrow if you're really intered in what it would look like? :lol:
