anyone have a loose 265/75/16 tyre on rim

[jetcrew]

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

Hi Jet
just measured a 265/75 r16 at (edit) 265mm
just to let you know it was still on the van when i measured but put a piece of (edit)checker plate back and front as a straight edge

Thanks mate 

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

thanks again mate ..maybe it was the mud tyre that made it fatter.

just had a scout around the yard but couldn't find anything with a more aggressive tread on it

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
