i think yu just have

16 and 18 were standard fitment...

Some people put 20" L322 wheels/tyres on the P38, but they look out od place imho...

You may get some flak from peeps on here over this subject btw!!

Blimey!! Not seen that question before.

thinking more on the width and wall size rather than rims

255/65/16

Rim Diameter: 406.4mm
Sidewall Depth: 165.75mm
Total Diameter: 737.9mm
Rolling Circumference*: 2225.45mm

345/50/16

Rim Diameter: 406.4mm
Sidewall Depth: 172.5mm
Total Diameter: 751.4mm
Rolling Circumference*: 2266.17mm
Changing your wheels/tyres may effect your speedometer reading!
With this new combination your speed will be 1.83% of that inidicated.
When your speedo reads 30 mph you will actually be doing 30.55mph


it may actually rub!

275/60/16 would be better i know the 275's i had on my 20's didnt rub.

so you can go wider just not taller. just i have seen some grabber at2 and its cheaper to get the wider ones than to get original size

what size you seen for sale?

only problem going taller on profile, is the chance of it coming off the bead wall when going round corners.

They wont fit.













Or wi they ?

With 16" tires almost anything larger than 255 x 65 will catch when the EAS fails and you are on the bump stops. Go much larger and the car will be immobilized.
You can get round it by fitting extended bump stops.

A word of warning the biggest tire size that fits , put it this way the 5th tyre won't fit in your boot well, my brother in law has em and he hasn't a spare now because it don't fit the stupid muppet !!

+1 on that
If you try and run on a different size spare you can knacker the transmission.

Maybe just get the correct size tyre for the correct size rims.
