OK guys I know there are hundreds of threads on here for sizes of wheels/tyres ets..................but i just cannot find the info that I need.

1990 defender 110. Original front axle(disc brakes). Now fitted with a salisbury disc braked rear axle. At the moment it's running on 245-75-r16 all terrains.
What I need to know, if I fit 265-75-16 MT/s on steel wheels, will they fit on without having to do any alterations, ie lift or spacers etc?? I can just about manage to adjust the steering stops though if necessary.

If anyone can help on this i will be eternally grateful.
Thanx in advance

Just do the maths...see how much space you have under there. Your current tyres have a sidewall height of 183.75 ... your new ones will be 198.75 so will be an increase diameter of 32. Sorry for the boring answer.

265/75/16 will fit easily without needing spacers or lift, i had 305/70/16 on standard suspension without spacers
