    Adjust the stops until the tyre just clears the arm, it does make a fair bit of difference. I've learnt to live with the turning radius, you certainly have to pick your spot for a U-turn.

    For whatever reason, Disco 1 steels are not weight rated for 130's

    Yeah they most definitely are
    1300kg per wheel
    They have a higher rating than stock (slightly less than Wolf)
    Definitely okay

    Standard 130 rims (wolf) are rated at 2200kg per wheel, pretty sure disco steelies are not legal on a 130 although some people use them. I guess it’s not really a problem if you’re never at gvm?

    i found many wolf rims are only rated to 1150kg

    some variants are rated higher....

    How can you tell, is it a different part number? I’ve heard of new ones that are called ‘wolf’ rims but aren’t stamped with any part numbers I.e. the ANR..... whatever it is.

    Check your vehicles axle load rating.
    Rear will be usually higher than front.
    Divide by 2
    Ensure the stamped load rating on wheel is a bigger number.
    Simples.

    Disco1 Steelies are load rated at 1300kg
    So give an axle load rating of 2600kg
    Far in excess of any defender axle load rating ever

    It’s simples

    And that’s just to keep everything legal schmegal
    Look at the construction of a D1 Steelie compared to all other defender rims but the HD Wolfs
    and you’ll feel safe.

    Don’t even get started on running tubeless on tubed rims
