Well now I want to get you started because I'm running tubeless on an old tubed rim and have had no issues and have never read of anyone having any issues.

It’s been bandied about on Aulro for as long as I’ve been a member!
I was making a snide comment!
My old 130 did a few hundred thousand Kay’s throughout Cape York and the Gulf
Running tubeless on tubed rims. Normal dirt pressure of 25 front 30-50 rear and down to 15 for beach launching etc
Never had a problem
But some would say if you run a tubeless rim without tubes you will immediately roll your defender into a busload of haemophiliac nuns and babies?

Cheers. Needed a laugh :)
To help with the turning circle of my Defender I fitted King wheels Terra 0 offset steel rims from Bob Jane Tmart, $114 each. If you buy King rims also use their wheel nuts as the tapered is different to LR nuts. A great improvement in the turning circle. I can now safely do u turns!
And it was a lot cheaper than changing the offset of Wolf or Disco rims.
The 265/75 R 16 BFG KO2 tread just sits in the flare.
