Thread: Aftermarket wheel options for D2?

Went for these wrapped in 33x12.5 Kumho MT's.

What wheels did you end up getting?

Are the Fuel Off Road wheels actually multiple piece wheels (i.e. where they have bolts on the spokes to they bolt the spokes to the rims - like Simmons or ROH Modular wheels) or are they just their for looks?

I'm wanting to get some replacement wheels that will push the wheels out an extra 30mm. At the moment I run 18" wheels with 32" tyres on them but would probably look to go up to 33" or 34" tyres next time. I think I will try to stick with 18" wheels as I like the look and less tyre sidewall to flex, so perhaps better handling on the road...
Regarding changing the offset, I want to move the wheels out at least 30mm. The standard offset I believe it +57. The two common offsets seem to be +27 and +6. Not sure if +6 would be too far out for the guards?

From what I remember the Fuel Off Road wheels are all one piece, the bolts where for show.

I will have to get back to you on the brand of the ones I ended up getting, after all the stuffing around I can not remember anymore.

When your looking for new wheels and changing offsets remember that technically you can only change the offset by 25mm per wheel. That changes the D2 rims from +57mm to +32mm, that is the reason I had mine machined to +32mm.

I was looking at the Allied Wheels catalogue ( http://www.alliedwheels.com.au/wp-co..._catalogue.pdf and I really like the Beadlock wheels look. They do two 'imitation beadlocks' which I assume would therefore be road legal.

I also like the ZU Alloys. They are plain and simple - http://www.paddockspares.com/land-ro...scovery-2.html

Good to know. The ZU Alloys are 36mm/38mm offset for 18"/16" - which is 4mm/6mm off the maximum still. I quiet like them in the black colour - DA2456 | 18x8 Zu Alloy Rim - Gloss Black - includes adaptor ring

Last time I checked, which was 12 months ago, allied only did the mumba for D2.

For anything in close to a standard fitment they have the Mumba and I think one other.

They can do the beadlocked 16x8's to suit but they will be a very big offset to standard, from memory it was something like a -10mm which would but them close to 3" further out than the factory rims.

I'm currently investigating the roadworthyness of my rig and the difficulties of engineering for a compliance plate so am looking closely at which wheels can be used...

The backup plan if it's too expensive/difficult will be to go down to 16" x 8" wheels (not sure which though - the Dynamic steel wheels which Les Richmond Automotive sell are +30mm offset which is 2mm too much [overall wheel track increase would be 54mm exceeding the 50mm maximum] and the ZU Alloys are +38mm offset which only increases the wheel track by 38mm out of the 50mm allowed).

As for tyres to suit, maximum increase is 50mm, so overall diameter can't exceed 787.87mm (standard is 737.87mm).
265/70R16 are 10mm under so would work and there is a good range of tyres available in this size.
275/70R16 are 3mm too big
