How wide are the tyres they put on toyota split rims.

Can vary depending what they are on, but generally 7.50r16 or 205/16R but i fitted 235/85/16 you can really fit a few different options

What does the 7.5 refer to.

i am pretty sure its a old school size in inches
What are you actually up to

BJ

I assume it is inches, but what measurement. Width? That would make it a 190/??/r16.

I am trying to decide what to do with the spare wheel situation on my 80.
I have been looking underneath and reckong i could raise the spare wheel support and mechanism up by two inches scene i have a 2 inch body lift. So what i am thinking of doing is raising that and then fitting the skinny est rim and tyre combo I can find up under there.

(What would be the skiniest tyre rim combo I could get?)
Can you get a tyre on a 6inch R16 rim to suit a 80 series cruiser

I would than generally just get arround with this for a spare, and when I go out for some seriouse off roading I would throw the 315/75/r16 spare in the back of the car.

I used to have my spare under the back end and it was jsut the standard split rim. It actuall sat under there really well and dosent hang down at all. I reckon if you moved the mount up 2" then a full size spare would disappear pretty well. Just make sure you can still get to the winder

When you say it sits up out of the way I take it you have a tow bar fitted.
I have removed my towbar and it hangs down a mile now. Way more than two inches. More like 4 inches

Hadn't thought of that.
Sure there will be a way to fix that.

yes towbar fitted. I would imagine it would hang down a bit without it

7.50 is the width in inches and the tyres are usally arouind 32" so that would be the go

7.50R16 came on cruisers, Hilux's come with smaller tyres mounted to the same split rims.

The tyre and rim association manual lists a 7.50R16LT tyre to have an overall diametre of 812mm(closer to 32") and a section width of 208mm(8.18")

The tyre and rim association manual also lists an 8.25R16LT which is listed as width:230mm(9") and diameter: 870mm(34.25") bu also lists the rim width as 6.5" as opposed to 6.0" for the 7.50R16LT

so i guess you can probably mount a 8.25R16LT (34" tall)to a toyota split rim for emergency use, but it wouldnt be technically right as it should be a 6.5" rim.

my cruiser came with 7.50r 16 (80# dx) spilt rims
my dads Hilux with 205 /16 spilt rims
my partners cruiser is 265/75/16 Gxl 80# on 16x8 silver rims
and th tyre i use for a spare is a silverstone mt117 -285/85x16 on a 16x5.5 split rim and never had a problem
