Thread: 15" STEEL RIMS ON 2004 D2

I'm sure Sneigy had a D2 in at the shop years ago that was on 15's.

hey there, don;t hold back now, tell us how you really feel

I have taken off the 18" alloys and fitted 16" genuine steels to my D2 and it's a great improvement I think. It seems to handle better and be more comfortable (on and off road)

I run 235/70 R16's on mine, as fitted as standard for 16" rims.

A friend of mine fitted 15" BMW 5 series steel rims to his DiscoII TD5. He widened it to 8J and fitted 31x10.5x15 Cooper MT'S. The rims clear the calipers and backing blates without any cutting. He did a 20mm body lift. Suspension is still standard at this point. Will post more photos later.

Here are photos of D2 with the 15" wheels.



Enjoy.

Looks good and nice in sand...

interesting colour

A pity this thread has not come up with a definitive bolt-on replacement 15" wheel for late D2s. They don't look as elegant as the 18 inchers, but it occurred to me that the 15" wheels (9R15 Desert Duellers on Peco Star wheels) on my old RRC might significantly contribute to the smooth ride that I am chasing for my 2003 D2. Another set of Pecos would be good - they're built like a brick 'loo. I once hit a gutter in the RR (ice on the road) and comprehensively demolished a rim, and the centre spider didn't bend whatsoever.
