Wheel size - Tyre size
« on: October 29, 2006, 20:34:55 »
I have a set of 7" wide wheels, I am looking at the Insa Turbo special track tyres. What I want to know is will the 265/75/16 fit on 7" wide wheels or should I go for the 235/85/16? By the way they will be fitted to my 110.

yup will fit no probs, you will more than likly need to alter your lock stops tho as they will catch on the radius arms,
you mite benefit from some spacers to get a better lock like my friend did

Just MHO but i wouldnt bother witht he 235/85/16
measure the same height as the 265/75/16 but are a fair bit narrower,the 265/75's ive got clear the radius arms but i think thats more to do with the fact im running 7 inch 8 spokes that are well out spaced

I throught so, the 265s are cheeper as well  :D . Looks like I will be ordering some very soon. I got rid of my Bronco Dirt Devls as the side walls were cracking and put some Machos on (got them 2nd hand, but with lots of tread) to say they are CRAP is an understatment.

Looks like the card will take a bashing tomorrow :shock:

i got 7inch wide rims, and 235*85R16 tyres, and the rims are a little too wider than i'd like, so 265s should be fine
