Among the collection of "Wolf" rims I have, of which a dozen have been galvanised by Furphys at Shepparton are five tubeless ones which look as they were made in the same factory as "genuine" ones except do not have a Land Rover part number stamped on them. Apparently they were originally imported into Western Australia from an aftermarket supplier. Possibly Paddock Spares.Originally Posted by roverrescue
Incisor especially could note what I have found, with a '97 Defender 130, 1961 Series 2 LWB and a dead '94 V8 Disco 1 around. Have put a set Wolfs with good 7.50 XZL's on S2. Would never want standard 5.5 inch 272309's back on again. Wolfs as well as being 6.5 inches wide and seeming to suit these tyres better than original rims have their offset with the inside of the rim sitting out about an inch further out from the chassis. Steering stops on swivel housings are normally set to limit turning lock to just before tyre rubs on chassis. With Wolf rims, can screw them right back. Lock is then limited by maximum travel in steering box, which seems about as far as it advisable to go anyway.
Original wheels from Series 2, fitted with worn cross ply tyres with tubes in them are now on dead Disco to keep it a rolling chassis. At least they do not go flat 'when they feel like it - largely by leaking around the bead as older tubeless tyres often did. I note that the inside offset on the Disco rims is about the same as the Series rims. About equally useless re turning lock if used on Counties and Defenders. The extra 1.5 inches extra width is all on the outside.

I don't see Disco steelies being a problem. I have ANR4583 130 rims but my spare is a Disco Steel rim. The spare has been fitted for the last few months now and I haven't noticed any rubbing on the spring perch.
Tires are 255/85, so wider then you require.

Disco 7" steelies are 33mm offset
130 6.5" HD rims are 20.6mm offset
Trust me, with the turning circle of a 130 you will want the 130/Wolf rims, unless you get the centres of the Disco rims cut and rewelded.
The rims that are on my old 130 atm are 0mm offset and help the turning circle dramatically.
As Steve said, tube rims run tubeless aren't an issue, that's how most of us ran them for a long gtime and I've never rolled a tyre off the bead running tubeless.
The only time I've rolled a tyre off the rim was back around 2002 when I was running tubes.
AT REST
Standard D1 steel rims are fine (& tubeless) (& cheap)

I am just wondering....Do you need the tube when running tube rims with tubeless rubber?Disco 7" steelies are 33mm offset

I'm loathe to suggest it can be done as it's technically illegal, there is no safety bead, but IMO it's perfectly safe to do with the 130HD rims.
Standard 110 5.5" rims are a different kettle of fish.
The bead is really wide on the 130 rim, and there are several problems running tubes.
1. tubes tend to weld themselves to the tyre due to heat running at highway speeds
2. tubeless tyres tend to rub through the tubes anyway as they aren't smooth on the inside

SubscriberI have been running DI steel rims with 235/85/16 on my 110 with no issues at all even when off-roading. Just notice a change in the turning circle that is still very acceptable.
