    Rims and Tyres for Series III

    I know there are many threads on rims and tyres, there is also a sticky in "The Good Oil" (most of the links don't work or don't relate to Series vehicles). My question is very specific.

     What tubeless tyres and rims can I get with the same overall diameter and width as my 7.5 x 16's. I also want the capability to have the same or better turning circle I have with standard 272309 rims.

    Thanks for any help!

    D1 or Defender rims you could use and run 235/85x16 tyres D1 rims are 16x7 though with 0 offset and I think the fender rims are 6.5 but I could be wrong

    235's with no power steering would only be an issue at low speed

    Are you sure that Disco 1 rims are zero offset?

    Just by looking at them they appear to be +ve offset.

    I'm also sure that most SIII rims are 5 1/2"

    You do see some countys and 110s with 6" rims but most are still 5 1/2"

    The ones likely to look correct and still you to have the same turning circle would be the 120 and early 130 rims. They are -ve or zero offset 6 1/2" rims.

    Most of them however are not tubeless rims.

    If you want tubeless you will likely have to go to new Wolf rims.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    I was not sure I just thought they had 0 offset my new rims I just bought seem to be slightly deeper (16x8) and they are 0 offset

    Alrighty, I've just looked up on Wikipedia what offset means...

    So does anyone know if Series the offset of Series 272309 and Wolf rims are the same?

    Thanks to everyone for their information so far.

    Confusing isn't it?

    It seems back to front to me, but that's the way it goes.

    Yes, I had assumed it was the other way.
