Aftermarket wheel options in 16/17" and offset close to 32P/ET32

[twr7cx]

Hoped to make a consolidated thread of aftermarket wheel options for the Discovery 2 in 16" that take advantage of the NCOP VSB 14 Section LS Tyres, Suspension, Steering < https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/migrated/vehicles/vehicle_regulation/bulletin/files/NCOP11_Section_LS_Tyres_Suspension_Steering_Nov_20 15_v4.pdf >


4.2.11 Off-Road and Goods Vehicle Wheel Track
The wheel track of off-road four wheel drive vehicles and goods vehicles (MC, NA, NB ADR category) must not be increased by more than 50mm beyond the maximum specified by the vehicle manufacturer for the particular model.
(page 22)

Given the standard for the Discovery 2 is ET57, then ET32 or 32mm positive (32P) is the ideal wheel offset to take advantage of the maximum wheel track while being fully compliant with the requirements.

Obviously the bead lockers keep the tyre on, but one of the advantages of the standard wheel is the bead depth. Do any on these wheels have a similar depth?

No ideas, but the factory wheels are irrelevant when you need the additional track width (if you don't need this, then given the cheap price, high availability and excellent quality of the factory wheels you'd be silly to not stick with them). The spacers and hub adapters that would be required to run the factory wheels aren't legal and have other complications.

The EVO Corse wheels are commonly used in the Dakar Rally. I'd assume they've got their design setup well.

I've been rolling on the Dynamic Wheel Co steel wheels for almost a decade now and not had any issues with beads in my use. I don't know if they're bead depth is equal to the factory wheels but it's certainly sufficiently deep enough for purpose.

Are the factory wheels J type bead profile or JJ?
