Title: anyone have a loose 265/75/16 tyre on rim
Post by: jetcrew on June 24, 2015, 02:55:46 PM
Can anyone with a 265/75 or 70 16 tyre on a 16 inch rim lay it on a flat surface and place a piece of timber or bar across top face  and then measure down to the ground for me.

i am trying to establish the thickness of this rim/tyre combo.

My 285/75/16 on 16 x 8 is 295mm

i tried google but just keep getting height not thickness

thanks jet ;D ;D ;D

interesting the 285 grows to 295 and the 265 stays at 265 ..

All good mate 5-10mm difference is not that important at this stage ..I have since found out thet my new trailer was engineered with 265/75/16 tyres in mind. So i will be going with that size and put to be my idea of using the bigger rubber.

thanks again mate
