Yep. Best to fit A008s rather than A032s, they have a bit more compliance in the sidewalls apparently.

Previously I have run 165*70*10 cammacs on 7*10 Revos but you will have a lot of strech.
Can you get 008s now? I thought the were not approved for inport into UK now. 32Rs are still OK though.

The widest 10" wheel road tyres you get are 165/70x10,they might be a stretch on 7" wide rims. Might be best to check on the tyre makers own website to see what rim widths they recommend .

If I remember the are not recomended for anything wider than 6" but these days steched tyres are all the rage!

Loads of people do it with A008s or A032s.

Camacs . Didnt Noah fit them on the boat trailer for moving his ark ?
I bet those wellers have one hell of a offset . I remember the 6x10's stuck out a way . They were all the rage in the early eighties . 165 are widest road legal tyre .

well good to know i can get some to fit if i use them though seems unlikey as they dont fit my brakes was hoping the offset was going to be enough to clear them, might have to get some wide 13's or hunt down some hubcentric spacers.

Dont bet on it. We had probs with beanys 6x10s couldnt find a tyre fitter that would fit as all said would weaken the beads AND walls too much, but was largely down to the wheel supplyer who we wont mention on here. If you look up yoko or falken specs they both say only fit to a 5 1/2 " max rim.( for 10" )

Go for split rims with inner tubes then you won't need to worry about tyre fitters as you can fit them yourself

I cant believe you lot are talking inner tubes and 1 inch spacers .
Do it properly .

You'll just need to worry about rolling your car when the tube goes bang at high speed and doesn't give the controlled deflation that a tubeless does, and then you'll have to worry about the when the insurance assessor comes round asking why you where using tubes with tyres that specifically say "Tubeless" on the sidewall. Not sure if there are also MOT implications. Also seems a bit pointless getting flashy looking super light split rim alloys and then adding unsprung weight back by fitting an inner-tube...

No idea mine are sealed but alot of guys run them with tubes. The guy at Force racing even used to recommend them... :/ Anyway you can avoid spacers altogether if you just gring the calipers a little N
