Are these rims from a Land Rover 130?

I have these on my 90. Are they from a 130?
They are fitted with 7.50x16 tyres. My spare is different and I' like to find another one so I have five the same. I have been told that these rims are rare. I like them as they have a lot of offset.

It is also time to get some new tyres. I had a puncture yesterday and the side walls are cracking. Will 235/ 85s fit? I think they are about the same size, but a little wider. I don't want to go stupid wide. A little wider will look better and the metric size may widen the choices I have.

I'll be looking for some mud tyres. Maybe like the Black Star Guyanes that are on there now (which don't seem to exist now).

Thanks,

Paul.

The rims were fitted to late Series 2b's some 110's (heavy duty version) the Tangi armoured 110 and the 127 and 130 LR's.Leonard Vass (L W Vass Ampthill Bedford 01525 403255) has been running ads in the magazines for months for them,they are Â£20 +vat each.235/85R16's will fit on them ok, but you will have to still use tubes in them because of the rim design.They are 20mm or so wider than your current 750-16's and slightly larger in diameter.Yes, you will get a better choice of tyres in 235/85R16's.
