Fitted 223/85x16 on 90 without lifting it?

Hi

Just bought a 1986 ex military 90 soft top and bought and fitted Insa Sahara Mud Terrain 235 85 16 on Black Mods. They didnt ask if the 90 was lifted or still had standard suspension.

Looking at varoius posts, i could of made a bit of a cock up and should of got 235 75 16...too late now...

Can I get away with this? Cant really afford to lift it 2"

Cheers
Mark

:5blurk5::5blurk5:, seriously have a search pal.

Well if they don't fit then an awful lot of us are in trouble...

What have 223/85/16 tyres got to do with 235/85/16 tyres or 235/75 tyres?

Who didn't ask if it was lifted? You fitted them according to your above statement so I'm assuming you are refering to the tyre dealer. When you buy tyres for a vehicle the tyre dealer doesn't automatically ask what mods the vehicle has as they assume that when you phone up and say I want some 235/85/16 tyres you want to buy some 235/85/16 tyres.

I dunno if standard size tyres will fit a standard vehicle without modification.:doh:

It's a mystery.

223 or what ever was a typo and cant find the thread now typical but I didnt dream it or I would not of wasted my time posting the question but yep I get it....... it was a stupid question!!!:doh:

Theres no such thing as a stupid question.

















Just a stupid cnut asking a question.

lol. Harsh!

If they don't fit could you ring the LR factory and tell em. You could save them a lot of bother.

Balls to it, i'm going soft in my old age, seeing as those tyres are no good to you i'm willing to pay you £10 and take them off your hands.

My tyres are bigger than that on standard suspension and don't rub (steering stop adjusted)... I can't confirm that your smaller ones won't though

That answer your question?

Oi!!!!!!!!!!! I is trying to buy them tyres that don't fit.

ive found i have to lift mine slightly [with a jack] when i fit this size tyre to mine. otherwise its a right bastid to get em on

Oh wait... I was wrong... they don't fit! Come to think of it mine must not fit either! I've never realised for the 8 months they've been on!

They will fit and will look great, I have 238x85x16 with black modulars on my ex army 90 (there are no clearance issues)

Some odd tyre sizes here...he's got 223's and you've got 238's.

Must be specialists.

I have 265,5/74 R16.25 on mine lol
