    Anyone in Sydney with a set of early stock Disco rims and 33" tyres I can borrow?

    I'm in the process of getting the discovery below engineered and it turns out the rims I have have excessive offset and the engineer is making a fuss about it. Does anyone in Sydney have a set of stock rims with (or without) 33" tyres? I'm happy to pay for the inconvenience while the car is being assessed.

    I have 3 sets of rims and they all have too much offset!

    Hopefully someone can help me out!

    Hi Phil, thanks for the offer! Are they 16" or 15" rims?

    Yes, I think you are right. The tyres I have are 15" which is a PITA! Hmm need to think how I can solve this without needing to buy a new set of tyres..

    Pretty much all LR stud pattern 15" rims will have a 0 or neg offset so not much use to you, stock 16" rims are your only option.

    Hi Col,
    The offer sounds interesting! Are the stock tyres on the 130's the equivalent to 33's or 32's?

    Quite right!! Although, I think you are only permitted to increase offset by 10mm, and from what I've read, the stock disco 1s are +13mm offset? So that would mean I can get away with +3mm offset rims?

    It is looking like I can't get away from using 16" rims though... Which means different tyres need to be purchased!

    Tyres are toyo open country AT,s 235 85 r16, so closer to 32".
    I run MTs for trips away to places I may need them, ie the Snowys this weekend, and run the wolf rims with AT's for general driving/touring.
    You're welcome to use the wolfies for a week or so.
