Darren, I believe all model Riley used the same offset 3" wide road wheel. I measured this, probably not correctly, but this may help you.  I do know that some owners that installed 165 tyres encountered interference with the tie rod end to the tyre sidewall. This is not so much a problem with the MM, that shares the spindle, as the tie rod is mounted lower on the spindle. Pay attention to this is the point.   FWIW I bought 4.5" wide MM traveler wheels, (ESM) and encountered slight interference with the tie rod end, mounted 155 tyres, but can live with it using a 1/8" wheel spacer at the front wheels. Apologies I should have checked the offset.  B |

I'll have to do some more measuring I think before settling on wheels with a back up plan of a spacer if needed. Darren. |
