wheels

[blue juice]

Hi forum.
96 defender 300tdi what are the basic wheels worth to buy and who sells them.

[Blknight.aus]

7.50 R 16 LT style rubber or

235/85 R 16 in either passanger or LT construction.

take your pick theres hundred of them out there to choose from.

as a start point my jack of all trade rubber choices are the BFG AT for a civilised rubber and the olympic Steeltrek for a heavier duty tyre.

in a nutshell pick a tread pattern that does what you need it to do in the price range you can afford and fit that.

wheels, rims, not tyres !

[Sleepy]

There are quite a few come and go on ebay

You have lots of options. Anything off Classic Rangie (1995 and earlier)
Discovery 1 or Defender will fit. Alloy or steel?

Discovery Steel wheels are a good compromise.

For example:

land rover landrover discovery steel rims wheels - eBay Other Wheels, Tyres, Wheels, Tyres, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 26-Jan-10 21:45:00 AEDST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230424944290&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

Forget later Range rovers (after 95) and Disco 2 or later.

Hi, this seems as gooder post as i'm going to find to ask this question -

Will these alloy R/R fit my 93 Defender? I've got the HD drive flanges on the rear end, they have the massive 2" nut on them.
Might be a problem??

Don't the wheels for Defender have different offsets to those for RR?

the guy selling these said he took them off a '96 defender.

I was just worried about the space inside the middle for my HD drive flanges. anyone know if they'll fit??

how about these?

Hey mate

I had the Rossignol alloys fitted to my Defender before I went to steel Sunraysias

They do fit on the back with the M/D flanges but you can't fit the little plastic centre caps

you might put them on pootrol or toymota with that raised white lettering....but on a defender? no mate!

and they are very tight if you dont have the newer Maxi flanges that have angles taken off to accommodate the alloys.

mine are the older style maxi flanges and I caan get them on but wheels are tight to get off:)

[gmeddy]

sounds like the Rangie "Rims" are not going to fit then? unless they are what you called Rossignolies or something. I would call a rim a wheel, but a tire is a tire, unless it's spelt tyre.
I've ordered some 32"x15" Maxxis Buck Shot's for myself. They'll do the trick till i get 16" rims sorted out.

[Jock The Rock]

Your Landy alloys will fit, Rossignols are just a particular style that were fitted to a limited edition Disco
