on SWB or LWB 750's were the largest factory option unless you have a one ton or military chassis with extended hangers where 900's will fit. In practicle terms 235/85 is about as big as you can go before you need to put on eyebrows on the wings as has been said above. it depends what rims...

nuts wins :p (well it had to happen sometime by the law of averages)

actually it relates to the tyre being radial 750R16 is for radial tyre 750x16 normally is used for crossply the speed rating comes after 3 types i think 1. early double ended for s1, s2 and 2a 2. circa 1970 shorter ones for 2A half length but on same thread/spanner size as above 3...

better add a ground anchor to the shopping list then

Don't panic thats easy to fix :D Welcome to LZ Cheers Ben

nah, I a bit of a rivit counter at times so I've got several sets of AF and whitworth's that I polish on long, dark lonely nights infront of the fire

not strickly true. The US is very much geared up for production of gasoline and as such has very complex coking refineries. In Europe we are changing from gasoline focus to diesel as the car population is changing over to diesel so our refineries are now re-gearing to produce a greater...
