evening all, I currently have on my 2000 TD5 Defender 33x12.5 adventuro mud terrains. They are good tyres but I’m after some tyres more for road use but of an almost similar size. The more I look the more confusing it is! I could buy rims and get tyres fitted but for example I have no idea what tyres would fit on 16x7 rims everything seems to be measured in different units.

Any suggestions? I’m guessing something like 235/85R16 would be a similar height but what rims would I need? All tyres I look at of that sort of size are off road tyres and alloy wheels are all quite small plus alloys won’t fit
 
Yeah it seems ok on 33’s I wouldn’t need road wheels quite that big but too small would look wrong. Found some nice 235/85r16s used but they’re on alloys which probably won’t fit
 
Actually they might fit but I don’t want to have to buy them to find out!

Why not phone one of the usual 4x4 suppliers and explain what you have and what you want .

They will be able to explain what you need regarding wheel and tyres size including the offset to match what you have already fitted.

Cheers
