Thread: Aftermarket wheel options for D2?

For reference purposes for anyone reading this thread in the future, also have a read of http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread...29#post1857029 as there is a lot of information contained in there too.

Hey Chris

I've been following the changes to your car over time, looking good mate!

When are those wheels going on......or when are you going to put some images up with them on?

Cheers

Thanks mate,

Give me a couple of weeks and I will throw up some pictures, just finished cutting the last guard, trimming and painting the flare and fitting up on the weekend.

Just for information on hubcentric rings.

If you go down the route I did, having rims machined more than likely the Centre Bore size will be to suit a LR Disco 3 at 72.6mm.

In addition, this opens up more options if you can look at wheels to suit the D3 as well to go on the D2.

To make sure they fit and you do not get any vibrations you need these to take the D2 hub centre from 70.1mm to 72.6mm, also it is a requirement to fit them as detailed in the NCOP.

I ended up getting the Dynamic Wheels Black Round Hole steel wheels from Les Richmond Automotive:

Steel Rims
Dynamic Tyres ~~ Tyres | Tubes | Wheels | Rims | General Tire > Our Wheels > Dynamic Wheels
http://www.dynamictyres.com.au/Porta...ch%20Sheet.pdf





Reason was I decided to move down to 16" rims to increase my tyre choices. Decided on using 285/75R16 because it's a common size with the Land Cruiser and patrol boys - means most tyre shops keep the size in stock and there's a lot of good second hand deals on eBay and Gumtree.
Today I have fitted a set of four BF Goodrich All-Terran KO for $160.00 fitted and balanced. They've got about 30% life in them.
It'll be boderline on weather or not I will need larger flares to pass engineering - see what mood the engineer is in. With the wider tyres and +30mm offset rims, they're all the way out to the flares.

The wheels were cheap enough - $114.00 each and $70.00 delivery, but the hub caps and nuts were not! They added an extra $300.00 onto the price!

Tip for anyone else in the future, get these from the UK directly:
Britcar (UK) Ltd > ANR4851. WHEEL NUT STEEL DIS11 (P)
Britcar (UK) Ltd > DTC100810 CENTRE TRIM ROADWHEEL DIS11 (G)

My Zu rims arrived last week and I fitted 285/75-16 Goodyear Duratrac's. They came up well, love the wheels and for $250 each they are a bargin.

I think I will need flares. They just stick out past the guards.

Dunno about the flares for engineering, but +30 rims won't pass. Need +32 to be legal, original + 25.
If the rims aren't stamped with the offset, I'd be telling the engineer they are +32....up to him if he measures it or not......
