Tyre

185R15

Tube

Tubeless – The chrome wheels have been tubeless since October 2006; the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since July 2007; and the stainless steel wheels have been tubeless since April 2008. If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 175/185 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15/16″ rim bands.

Notes

Vehicles manufactured from late 1967 onwards were fitted with Flat (Easy Clean) hubs as standard – always check the style required during the transitional period.

Although these vehicles have an adjustable axle, the wider wheel options below will fit the front with no problems. However, the spats at the back will need to be removed and more narrow coombs-style spats fitted otherwise the wheel will rub.

Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment.
