Specs for 2003 disco

[trolley_73]

G'day people, I am struggling to find any websites with specs for 2003 Disco TD5s. I am wanting to replace my 18" x 8 rims with 16" x 8s as I have just relocated to Darwin and I want some mud tyres so I can go and play when it rains again. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Welcome to AULRO :D

16 inch rims will fit, especially if they are land rover rims.

Thanks, and thanks for the info. I thought they came out with 16"s. Will need to forgive my ignorance as I am a recent convert to the green oval.

Not a problem ;)

also, how is your turning circle, with 16 inch wheels on you can get shorter steering stops to improve the turning circle a bit.

Turning circle is akin to a Western Star at the moment, but is a small sacrifice to make for the comfort factor. My last 4wd didnt even have pwr steer so it hasnt really bothered me too much. I am still tossing up trading her in on a Defender so at this stage I am not sure how far I am going to go with this one. Will definately look at the stops tho if I do replace the wheels.

Hi there, another territorian on the forum:D :D :D :D :D

First off, you'll be waiting a while for some decent rain now... its almost the dry season!

As for wheels the standard far is 16x7 with 235/70R16, then 16x8 with 255/65R16 and lastly the 18x8 with 255/55. Look around because if you put a 2" suspension lift in you could go to a higher profile 18", there are more becoming available now days. Though personally I'd favour the 16" with more sidewall.

Yep I reckon it will be a while waitin for the rain. But I went to the Landy shop today to try and test out a Defender but they arent gunna have any new ones till Sept.:(
Reckon I might be lining up for a new one around then anyways, so might just stick with the 18s for now. Got a set of Coopers HT's on em and they seem to handle anything I have thrown it at so far.

The Territory it seems is 4wd heaven so far!:banana:
