Wolf Rims #ANR4583PM around $138.00 each inc Tax from Rovacraft - Land Rover, Range Rover parts and accessories. (http://rovacraft.com.au/index.html)

Was, and still am, planning to get a set for the old SII.... the price is from about a year ago so most likely will be higher.

As you are probably aware, it is a lot easier to get wheels to suit the 90 or 110 than the 130 - the 130 wheels are significantly heavier duty, and any replacements need to be designed for the potential load.

Try these - 1400kg and you can get what stud pattern you want - cost about $180

Try Triggs motors at Toronto, they may have them or be able to get you some appropriately rated wheels.

[Col.Coleman]

I hope this is not too late, but king wheels do that style. I just purchased 7 for my 99 130 in 16x7 and even managed to get them in black. They are 0 degree offset which retains the standard 3.5 inches inside and do not stick out. They look trick. They are also rated at 1200kg which is 200 kg more than needed for the rear axle max load

[VladTepes]

Disco75 - do you have a link ? How much did they set you back ? Are they steel ?
Is the offset the same as the standard LR rims - ie doesn;t make steering lock any worse ?
And most importantly do they have a safety bead for running tubeless ?

[Col.Coleman]

I bought them from my tyre guy that I have used for ages. Tony Curry and his tyres and more store. I bought them to go tubeless and run Michelin XZL 7.50 x 16 4x4 O/r's. I googled wheel offsets and found a great link through exploreoz to a racing page on wheels with an offset table of rims. The wheels have the same measurements inside as the stock 6.5' rim but have an extra inch dish. They are 0 degree offset which retains the load evenly over both wheel bearings, steel for strength and black with white and red pinstrip. They cost me $120 each and do not effect steering lock or ride. The load rating is 1200kg whch gives you a combined axle capacity of 2400kg. My maximum specks for my gross rear axle load is 2200kg. The best thing was it was all just dumb luck it turned out so well. When the sun comes up and i can work out uploading pictures i'll post some.

[Roverant]

I've just put 16x8 on my 110 bought through Bob Jane, about $160 each

[defenderbilby]

Hi disco75,
I have tried to buy those tyres here in Sydney and have been told that the Michelin XZL 7.50 x 16 4x4 are no longer imported. They are a very good tyre. Have you managed to buy these recently?
David

[Col.Coleman]

last 2

[Col.Coleman]

yes bought 7 no probs last week. It depends how much your tyre guy cares. The only tyre I will use is Michelin on anything. Still looking for some for my wifes washing trolly.

[VladTepes]

Thanks D75 I appreciate the effort of dealing with these bloody computers !

Roverant - what did you buy ? I know they sell 16x8 Alloys but I was specifically after steelies.

[rar110]

Disco79 is that Tony Curry tyres Morningside. How much were the Michelin XZLs 4x4, what is "O/r's", are they tubless? Are they standard 7.50 x 16 tyre height, they look a bit taller than normal.

thanks

[Col.Coleman]

Yes. Tony has looked after me for ages. Tubeless, original fitment tyre on 130's and option for wagons. $345 each. Not cheap but nothing good is. And they are made in France, not Thailand. I believe your a local, I have seen your car around and at FWD when it was nearly finished and the gearbox in my wagon locked up.

[Col.Coleman]

forgot something. O/R means off road but are dot legalin australia and north america. with michelin the x stands for radial, z for all position(as in trucks, they have steer, drive and trailer tyres) and L is tyre description. They are a three bar tread. In the UK you can get them in four bar up to some big sizes. The pattern changes over 16 inch to what you'll see on the army mogs. With Michelin the tyres are larger for a nominated size than other brands because of they differnt way they measure the tyres. Michelin base the sizing on the measurements of the carcase and the tread is extra, others measure the tread as well. so for say a 265 section tyre if the tread goes down the sidewall it is included in the sizing so you end up with a skinnier tyre for that size. In the old days replacing 7.50 x 16 with 31 x 10.5r 15 you ended up with a much smaller rolling radius putting your speedo out, with the michies the difference is much less. Don't get me started on tyre pressures or touching my car with a rattle gun.

[rick130]

FWIW, the XZL's I had were quite a bit smaller in diameter than some 235/85/16 Bridgestone MT's I had with similar tread wear.
