Hi

Just bought a 1986 ex military 90 soft top and bought and fitted Insa Sahara Mud Terrain 235 85 16 on Black Mods. They didnt ask if the 90 was lifted or still had standard suspension.

Looking at varoius posts, i could of made a bit of a cock up and should of got 235 75 16...too late now...

Can I get away with this? Cant really afford to lift it 2"

Cheers
Mark
 
What have 223/85/16 tyres got to do with 235/85/16 tyres or 235/75 tyres?:confused:

Who didn't ask if it was lifted? You fitted them according to your above statement so I'm assuming you are refering to the tyre dealer. When you buy tyres for a vehicle the tyre dealer doesn't automatically ask what mods the vehicle has as they assume that when you phone up and say I want some 235/85/16 tyres you want to buy some 235/85/16 tyres.

Erm would you like to show us these posts?:confused:

I dunno if standard size tyres will fit a standard vehicle without modification.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::doh:

223 or what ever was a typo and cant find the thread now typical but I didnt dream it or I would not of wasted my time posting the question but yep I get it....... it was a stupid question!!!:doh:
 
If they don't fit could you ring the LR factory and tell em. You could save them a lot of bother.
 
Balls to it, i'm going soft in my old age, seeing as those tyres are no good to you i'm willing to pay you £10 and take them off your hands.;);)
 
My tyres are bigger than that on standard suspension and don't rub (steering stop adjusted)... I can't confirm that your smaller ones won't though ;)

That answer your question?
 
ive found i have to lift mine slightly [with a jack] when i fit this size tyre to mine. otherwise its a right bastid to get em on
 
They will fit and will look great, I have 238x85x16 with black modulars on my ex army 90 (there are no clearance issues)
