Re: tyre compatibility
The short answer is no. 120 Series must use 17" rims as 16" rims do not clear the brake calipers. Have heard of people grinding a bit off the brake caliper but that seems dodgy to me in regards to heat dissapation.Regards,

If you can't fix it with a hammer...... you have an electrical problem.

Re: tyre compatibility
I have had 7 x 16" 90 series steel rims on my 120 for three years now with no problems .Done over 70,000 ks with them on . I have 265/75/16 tyres on the car. Never had a problem with overheating?? . Yes I took a bit of metal of the callipers, bit like taking the corners off a box. I know you are not to modify the brakes but I take this as meaning bigger / smaller discs, or bigger / smaller callipers with more or less pistons ect , I have no way altered the way the brakes were meant to work from factory, smoothing the rough castings off and painting them is hardly altering them . If you put Bendix 4X4 pads on you have technically altered the brakes from factory spec or fit grooved or drilled rotors /discs you have also altered the brakes,Comment
