No David, They didn't. The Ford Lynx Scout Car should run 9.25 x 16 tyres and I have 5 here taken off my Lynx and a spare.

I have now fitted 9.00 x 16 tyres and they are quite a bit higher than the 9.25 x 16s I took off.

Just thought I'd bump this thread to see if anyone had any recent experience with 10.50x18 or 1100x18 tyres in Australia.

The other option is changing to use 20" rims. Are 20" CMP-type rims and tyres available in Australia?

Cheers,
Matt

Default 20" CMP type rims

You shouldn't have much trouble getting 20" rims, but you might just have to buy a CMP to get them A lot of people use the 12.00-20 tyres which might look a bit big on your Inter.

Thanks, gents.

I was wondering about the possibility of modifying the Inter to accept 8-stud wheels. I'm not overly familiar with such things, however.

I'm really just exploring the options.

Cheers,
Matt

I'm pretty sure Hummer tires use a 16.5" rim. Most of them are 12.50 x 16.5.
