Wheel Sizes
In preparing my Series 60 Land Cruiser for a trans-African trip I wanted to change the 16' alloys for steel wheels. I have had loads of trouble finding steel wheels and finally purchased a selection of 16' and 17' at the weekend with the intention of putting the 17' on the back and 16' on the front with a spare of each size. Its now dawned on me that it could stress the transmission if I use 4wd (which will only be for short periods and on loose surfaces).
Am I worrying unneccessarily and would it be a solution to put a 'deeper' tyre on the 16' to make them nearer in size to the 17'?
