Anybody know if 7.50R16 are OK to use on a 200 Discovery with a 2" lift?
Just looking around for some decent rubber and Paddocks are doing a 750R16 Michelin XZL on Wolf rims for £99+VAT each

They work out to same size as 235/85x16, and they caught on my offroading Disco, until I fitted a set of flared arches from Devon 4x4

On or around Sat, 11 Mar 2006 19:15:02 +0000 (UTC), Simon Isaacs enlightened us thusly:
actually, they're about 2" narrower than 235/85 and as such MIGHT not foul the bodywork.

correct. 7.50r16 works out at a little over 19 centimetres wide, whereas a
235/85 is 23.5 centimetres wide. or 4.5cms difference, near enough to two inches.Sam.

if you fit new modular rims they will have a wider offset than std rims and so will stick out farther by around 1 " , thus not touching the chassis and not needing steering stops adjusting .
750x16 are about 2 " larger in diameter than 205x16 but same width roughly .235x85x16 are larger diameter again than 7.50x16 and also a fair amount wider .
