255.85.16 tyres on wolf rims

Hmm. Anyone know if those fit on 101 rims ? 255 x .85 = 8.5 " ?

Steve

Yes they will fit on a 101 and there are a couple of people with them (there are a few references to them if you search on here or the 101 yahoo list).

I reckon that theyre as close in overall diameter to a 9.00x16 as you can get in a normal metric size.

Craddocks sell a couple of different makes of this size tyre including wildcat's i think.

I plan to buy a set of this size tyres for my 101 when i get it back on the road.

Any idea of price Tom ?

from craddocks' web site:

'all terrain' type 255/85R16 WILDCAT LT ALL TERRAIN £ 83.19

'mud' type

I'm not sure what to go for. I dont know how much of a 'mud' tyre the BFG's are. I'm really impressed with the trac edges i have on the 2A but i guess they are an all terrain not a mud tyre.

bronco have a few too. pricier though

'mud'

'all terrain'

no, should be, doubt it. Might even make the speedo more accurate.

The wolf rims are good, but beware - I think they are thicker metal than normal rims. You may need longer studs.

What size is a Wolf rim?

erm... 6.5x16? summat like that. or maybe 6x16. wider than SWB one, certainly. And tubeless, which none of the series ones are.
