Very true Mr _b!
I had 235 on mine when I got it with snow tyres. Never noticed much difference. Tread pattern makes most difference in my experience.
Very early ones did.

Nope the very early examples were fitted with either Stratos, DKL, or the 3 spoke "Vogue" copies which were fitted to the base models.
Ok carry on you know best. As far as i know early ones had steel spares. So steel wheels could be fitted.

You can fit steel wheels, but they never came with them..
They were listed as an option on early Microcat the up to date issue does not list them.

Hmm they might of made a mistake, hence removing it from the update.
No mistake. They were listed for the P38. 7 J WITH 235/70/16 tyres.

Hmm..
the 16' 3 spoke alloys were the only option for the base models.
According to the brochures and the Book I have here there was never a steel wheel fitment option,
They were listed on the parts manual as an option. Not a lot more i can say about it.

My spare is an alloy of the set. It has a 255/6516 road tyre on it so may not work if I ever need it.
Steel 7J/16 road wheels were available for the early P38 from Land rover. Fitted with 235/70/16 tyres. Similar to the steel wheels available for the Disco 1 listed for soil use.. They are no longer listed on Microcat for the P38. They are still listed for the Disco 1 on Microcat, but are no longer supplied by Land rover, but are aftermarket units.
