I dont have sawtooths on mine, but even with the 285 tyre size they'll fit fine with no problems.
hope this helps Defender puma dormobile camper |

if your thinking that the extra 2" on the rim makes a difference , dont forget your be normally running lower profile tyre
example 235/85/16 (standard size on defender ) diameter 806mm 265/65/18 ( about standard size to fit to defender ) diameter 802mm 285/65/18 diameter 828mm so the 18 is smaller by 4mm when changing tyre sizes you are are ment to keep within 2.5% +or- of oringnal size so 235/65/18 to 265/65/18 is 0.5% and 235/85/16 to 285/65/18 is 2.73% so really to keep within right range and not effecting gearing/speedo would be the 265/65 to be honest you wouldnt notice the small amount of change Last edited by munch90 on 20th Dec 2014 10:17am.

Apologies if you've answered this already but what is the T�V status for these wheels? Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |
