I've got a land rover wheel which is stamped "7J16" inside. What does this
mean (beyond the fact that it is 16" in diameter)?

I've found plenty of info on the net about tyre sizes but very little on
wheel sizes.

Thanks.

7J means that the rim is 7 inches wide, 16 means 16 inches diameter.

Thanks, that is exactly what I wanted to know. (I've also bookmarked the
suggested sites.)

All the best,

This website is very good. I've not seen a site where all the info you could
ever want on wheels is so well described in one place. Hopefully I'll
remember where I bookmarked it next time I need wheel answers.

I'm currently looking for a similar description of recovery techniques using
a Jackall or HiLift. Sure I've got one bookmarked, but as usual it is one of
hundreds with similr names. Any suggestions?
