Hi Chris,

Thanks for the information. Make you wonder what the "??? Model" signifies?

Yes

Hey guys,

I'm considering some 16x8 wheels for my Disco but I don't want to spend a fortune. It will probably cost me enough in freight up here in Darwin.

I currently have a set (5) of 18x8 Pro-Sport / Pro-Line wheels in the back shed with extremely bald tyres and a set of these "Adventurers" with 245-75/16 BFG KM2 tyres.

From previous experience I know going an extra bit wider in rim size can really open out a tyre and make it appear wider. That's one reason I want to go wider, the other is I'd like to go 265-75/16 tyres next time and a narrow rim with a wide tyre can sort of float where a rim the matches a tyre a bit closer, stands the side walls up and makes it track a bit better. IMO.

Now I know this thread is not about whether wide tyres are better or worse but about rim styles and sizes on the D2. So I'm thinking I can buy a set of 16x8 rims and off load the 10 rims I currently have to cover most if not all of the cost.

In a previous post by "Off Track" he show "Style 3" rims are 16x7 but I have found them listed here 2003-2004 Land Rover DiscoveryII "Style 3" Flat 6 Spoke chrome plated wheel. Hollander number: 72179 and other places as being 16x8. I dont like the RR style wheels or the Mirage style. I haven't been able to confirm what the Stratos look like.

So I'm asking what are the options availible for 16x8 factory rims and what do they look like?

Or maybe I should keep the 18x8 and put some off road tyres on them when the time comes but then I think I'm just going too big for my preferance.

Happy Days.

I just found this:

Buy Discovery 2->Wheels & Tyres->Road Wheels :

Which shows most of the styles with diameters but not widths.

As fare as I can tell (google) The "Lightning" style of wheel is the only other wheel in 16x8?

Happy Days

Go for the P38 Range Rover HSE alloys - they're 16x8 & a dime a dozen on eBay or from a Land Rover wrecker.

Yep they are the same ones I have on my disco. Got mine for $120 I have a set of 265 75 muddies on them. They don't look to bad on there either.
