tyres / hubs

Yes - done it with LWB rims on my 88" Series and it was all fine.

My 110 (1984 V8) has 7.50x16 radials (Goodyear Wranglers) on original steel rims, or is that not what you meant?

Did on mine. Slightly wider I think, diameter virtually identical.

If you just want to switch to radials, why not stick with 7.50x16? JD

might be that 235/85 are easier to get?

Yep indeedy. Thanks folks.

They probably are! but the original question implied that changing to radials made a change of tyre size necessary - which it certainly isn't here, although 235/85 probably are easier/cheaper/more choice. JD

Mind, I've looked seen 7.50R16 alonglside 7.50x16, and they're not always the same size :-)

next question, I assume the original rims are not for tubeless tyres, will I have to fit tubes to them? I'm fitting colway AT's.

Yes - and I've seen two 7.50x16 (or any other size for that matter) of different brands alongside each other - and they aren't the same size either. JD

If they're standard LR rims, yes. They don't hold air. Mind, didn't you say you were changing from 7.50s? the tubes you have will work.
