3) Where can I find a fairly cheap set ($0-$250) of 15/16 inch medium offset Sunraysia rims to fit my Landy?
Cheers in advance,

1) RR yes, Sierra and LC no. Jeep not sure but don't think so.
2)Yes.
3)ebay, or AULRO markets section.

A simple search on this forum would give you the answers re RR wheels. In fact, JDNSW answered the same question tonight. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/showthread...02#post1627102

Re offset, all LR wheels have offset. What offset do you want?

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm looking for something more than original offset, not sure how much, maybe 400mm-600mm? I just want a wider wheel track and for the Tyres to sit flush or stick out a bit from the body to protect the body panels a bit more when off-roading.

Half a metre of offset is gunna make it a lot more than original! I suspect the coppers might have words to say about that!

Oh sorry about that, I meant 40mm-60mm. I think half a meter might be a bit noticeable too...

If your series wheels are anything like defender wheels they will be 5 1/2 in. wide. and +33mm offset. If you get some disco 1 steel wheels they will have the same offset but as they are wider you will get some extra track (don't know if they will rub on the inside).

Is you budget for ea. wheel or for a set? because if for ea. you can get new ones from any wheel supplier for that money.

You are going to have to forget alot of the Jap orientated 4WD stuff you have been fed, as landies are quite a bit different. They work by suspension flex, gear reduction and driver finesse, not horsepower and Brute force.
