It doesn't really make sense. However, I bought a set of these rims from Ritters for my mud tyres, and they seem quite OK with tubeless tyres. (General Grabber MT's)

if you use the search function you'll find several related threads on this;

while I have never had a problem with tubeless tyres on LR tube-type rims, it is said to be something of a "no-no" for some people & tyre fitters

oh yes.....

and I've seen quite a few 130s using D1 steel rims

so no really answer as to if you can or cant??? I was told tubless 130 rims are very rare, to buy new.

the real answer is that you can run tubeless on tube-type rims .... but you might have to fit them yourself

the big advantage as I see it is that if you run tubeless, then you'll have fewer punctures and those that you do have will usually be repairable without removing the tyre from the rim

... (wait for the bush lawyers & rulekeepers to strike)

The ones in the picture i put on, are they in 2 parts?????

...um...(assuming that you mean split-rims) the ones pictured are not split-rims

yes the ones in the picture, i think i sort of understand this wheel stuff, wolf and 130 rims are the same.

but most rims regardless of the style are tubed, ie the ones in the picture, and the ones fitted to pre 96 defender 130s
