Modular Steel Wheel Fitment advice

Hi all,

I'm back again - with another small wad of cash ready to throw at the old girl.

I'm looking at getting 5 new modular steel rims from Tyredirect.com as I've been recommended by someone.
I have a few 235 70 16 Mud Terrains at home ready to go on, but I'm struggling to work out which wheels to get.

I'm looking at 16x8 5x165.1ET00 (https://www.tyresdirectuk.co.uk/product/modular-16x8-et00-black-5x165-1/)

Will these fit okay with the tyres? As they are ET00 does that mean they will poke out? She's already 2" lifted, and I'm more than happy to camel cut a bit more and add arches, so long as they will fit?

Many thanks, Jack.

What vehicle are these going onto...?

That would of helped, sorry!

Just one question, are 8 inch width rims correct for 235 tyres?

Cheers

I asked the company and they said they were okay. I also looked online as I was still dubious, but it looks like they will be fine

I had 235/85/16 on mine on a zero offset. You will need to flare the arches, you may not have to cut the rear though as mine were taller. If you have cheap wheel bearings fitted it'll probably let you know about it as well...

Cheers Chris. I've not long replaced all the wheel bearings with Bearmach ones - so hopefully they will be okay!

Still seems like quite a wide rim for a narrow tyre. You'll look like a teenager with a hot hatch. Oooh look at the 'stretch' on those tyres!

I see even the government have weighed in on the matter. https://mattersoftesting.blog.gov.uk/stretched-tyres-an-mot-failure/
