205/80/r16 fit handsomely onto standard 16" alloys and give it a natural 1" lift too ;)

But it depends on tread pattern. My 205/80/16 Mt's needed the arches to be cut or I wouldn't be able to turn the wheels .They certainly wouldn't fit without the wheel spacers. In contrast my 205/80/16 Coopers fitted without cutting or spacers.
For some reason I can't upload pics ??????

no, It is the Max Gross Vehicle weight, not the weight of the vehicle.

They just upped the load capacity for some reason. The MGTW is the same at 4080kg, but with the front axle at 1100kg and the rear at 1460kg.

ah got yer

vehicle + payload ;)
 
I have 225/75's on my 16's, thinking of selling my set of wheels if I go modular...

In fact may even sell my entire wheel & tyre set up...AT's, 30mm spacers (as you need the spacers to fit the wheels)

I'll have the spacers, but don't need the wheels.....3 sets would be a little greedy, let alone not having anywhere to store them :lol:

Ditch the other 2 sets, then you can run 16's and big AT's all year round, give you an extra 30mm lift ;)

Have you got a pic of them dude ?
 
Just had a look at the pics it looks good the tyres are awesome.

Will they fit straight on mine ? I assume I'll need the spacers ?
 
Yeah you'll need spacers for them to fit, but to answer your other question about the lift kit, I ran them with no lift for about 3 months including a green-laneing day

So I'll need just the spacers then and that's it I could use them without any problems ?
