Even with the wider rims they are tight, but you might get them on with a lots and lots of swearing. Where are you based, I have a spare off the rim tyre you could try your rim on as a test fit. Would have thought the bigger problem would be the reduction in turning circle due to the tyres hitting the chassis, the Matador hasn’t got the best turning circle in the world with standard tyres on. Good way of upping the gearing tho. Edited January 27, 2011 by Grumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 radiomike7 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Only the Mk 3 Recovery Militant has 16:00 tyres fitted and they have wider 3 piece wheels to accommodate them. According to my info the mk 3 recovery has 10" wide 3 piece rims, same size as mk 1 and 2 so no probs fitting the tyres apart from possible body/chassis clearance.
