put 'em on suitable wheels, apart from that no. We've a thread about this
at the moment, the jury's out on whether LWB rims are suitable (though I've
seen plenty on such rims with no apparent problems)
standard SWB rims are too narrow.

I've been looking at that thread got some tyres on rims ( 4x fedima remoulds
with chunky tread) and I've got some bf goodrich mud tyres x5(forgot their
proper name) not on rims one set I keep one set I may get rid of.

Why? I've had 7.50s on SWB rims for the last 20 odd years. Won the
SROC RTV league twice with them, so they can't be that wrong.

235s are wider than 7.50s. 7.50s on SWB are a bit iffy, but you can get
away with it. 235s are more like 9" wide.

Austin Hi,
Land Rover themselves offer the Defender TD5 D90 with 235/85 X 16 tyres
mounted on 7.5 X 16 alloy rims.
Take care

Am I right in thinking that the two systems measure tyre width at
different points? So that a 235/85 would have a different aspect ratio
if you measured width under the old system.

the disco alloys are 7J. naturally, no bugger was in evidence *anywhere*
today in town in a steel-shod defender.
I can confirm that standard 90 wheels are 5.5J.

Austin Hi,
you are absolutely right about the standard steel Defender 90 wheel rims.
Those are 5.5 inches wide.

Hopefully I'll track down some more examples to look at in the next few
days. Normally, this area is wall-to-wall defenders, naturally, the only
ones I saw yesterday were on alloys or non-standard steels.
