Which Tires will fit

[Mongolman]

Hi , I am looking to buy some new tires for my RJ77 which has the same basic suspension and body as the Prado. My question is will 235X85-16 fit on the narrow stock steel rims I have. Is there a rule of thumb for the width of the rim compared to the width of tire?

Also will I have any steeering issues like rubbing with the totally stock setup I have, because the rims keep everything in quite tight rather than pushing the tires towards the outside?

235s will fit yur narrow rims without a problem. The rule of thumb for the ideal ratio would be +/- 1.5 tire width for 1 rim width.
Those will fit with moderate, if any, rubbing and are a great size for 70 series IMO.

Thanks for the info Denis
I really like the taller tire for the roads around here. Hope to get them on this week

I think 33x10.5x15 will fit also without any modifications, 33x12.5x15 will scratch a little to rear fender.

more variation in width for 33" tyres would be good. They really only seem to come in 12.5" wide, which is quite wide for that diameter. A 33x11.5 would be ideal.

with the 16" rim you have a good selection of "33" tires (most are metric ratings)...
