Thread: wheels for a 95 130

The Zu alloys are 1400 kg rated, 11mm offset and TUV approved. I have then on my Defender and they have all markings required and are solid as a rock. I might be wrong but I suspect I will break the car before breaking the rim. They are not cheap but are top class. I figure that if I ever sell them, I will get most of my money back at sale time.

didn't want to sell me some

i have found white kings 16x7 0 offset locally for about $105ea

but i want to see what the disco rims with 235/85x16 on behave like to start with.

need some ??

Not at the moment but time will the tale

I'm probably wrong, but the usual speak is that Disco rims are not strong enough for the 130. Don't ask me why as they look beefy enough to me.

What are the two GVM's?
3500 for the 130?

Yes, 3500kg for the 130.

Hello All,
I need new tyres, I'm ready to go tubeless, and I'm happy to buy new wheels for peace of mind
I have a 2002 130 with the 6.5 (tube only) rims.

I currently have 235/85/R16 and have been looking at old threads to see if I should go wider, or increase rolling diameter.
Haven't seen a compelling argument so staying at same size (still happy to hear a compelling case)

I've looked around at all the local steel wheels and spoke to Dynamic and Infinity. Haven't really looked at paddocks.

I see Inc decided on Infinity 16x7 0 offset, and I thought I was happy to follow suit.

I thought I'd support my local tyre power, so I asked them to confirm everything before we booked it in

They rang around all the wheel mobs
and told me zero offset would stick out of the guards (Infinity has zero offset)
so I'd need to go Dynamic that had a +20 offset, and that would be perfect.
They also said offset doesn't affect turning circle

My understanding of offset was obviously back the front.
I thought the more positive the offset the further out the guard, but sounds like more negative the offset the further out it sticks
Is that correct?

And can someone tell me the relationship between offset, and affecting turning circle please.
Others seem to prefer 0 zero, so I'm guessing there must be a good reason

Thankyou

Cheers Mark
