could I have 750r16's on the front and 235/85 r16 on the back of a defender of will the slight difference in size cause problems???????????
750r16 = 32.1" dia
235/85 r 16 = 32.2" dia
Not sure why you'd want to and I'm guessin that as long as you removed one of the prop shafts it ud probably be ok
I would have thought the centre diff could cope with such a tiny size difference but I'd be worried I was doing some mischief somewhere so I'd keep it to a short term "get you home" type of arrangement.
ffs 0.1" is less than you get after a while of differing wear rates on the same tyres.
I've got the same tyres front and back, but they've got about 5mm difference in tread depth, so that's 10mm in diameter - no problem.
It's 5 Km/Hr, which is equivalent to a big difference in diameter - somebody can do the maths if they like.I seem to recall from somewhere that the centre diff can cope with 5 mile an hour difference but thats only for brake test and loadin on to flat bed not for drivin around.
From the point of view of the centre diff, yes.you u say its ok then trew?

The only thing to worry about is having the same circumference of tyre ( distance round the around the outside) not the wheel diameter, and then all the wheels will be covering the same distance. If your stuck just measure round the outside of the tread with a tape to match them up. Mick.
Its not the only thing to worry about there's tyre make up and differing tread patterns, the state of the economy, national debt third world poverty, Is the pope gay etc
