Defender Rims on my SIII

[amcordo]

Good morning everyone!

I have Defender rims on my SIII. Does anyone know what size tires will fit on a defender rim? I know the default 235 85 16, but will a 225, 245, 255 fit without being too thin/wide? I want to see what all my options are for new tires. Thanks!

If the rims are the Defender Alloy rims they should be 7" wide, so most 255/85R16 should fit good.

There are two steel Defender wheels. NAS ones are the Forward Control ones everywhere else and are 6.5" wide and you can run at least 255s on them. The Rest of the World (ROW) wheels are 5.5" wide and 235s fit them well. You can try and find a part number between the stud holes and post it or call our hosts to find out how wide your wheels are.
