Defender with Dynamic rims - you need to read this

[nugge t]

Like many other Defender Drivers, I fitted Dynamic steel rims when going to wider tyres. Unfortunately the centre does not fit snuggly on the axle hub with a 10mm gap.


This results in totally relying on the wheel nuts to hold the rim. If the wheel nuts are not tightened, or should they come loose the unsupported wheel will shear the studs very quickly.


This is the standard setup as we have all come to know it.





Recently several people in NSW have fallen crook of Transport. As a result Nugget Stuff put the shoulder to the grind stone and are pleased to introduce a Defender/Dynamic rim specific hub centric ring which over comes all of the problems.








CNC machined from steel and zinc plated to stop rusting, the Nugget Stuff Defender/Dynamic Hub Centric Rings are now available for $130/set plus post and are available from Nugget Stuff plus Mulgo and British Car Components.

Not sure but I suspect the rims are for another vehicle which has a larger hub and it is the only one available with the correct stud pattern/size to suit Defenders.
Let them know about the fix whilst you are talking to them

Have you a pic of the actual piece you supply ..not on the hub

No but I think this one gives a pretty good idea.


The chamfer on the leading edge helps when fitting the rim. The raised chamfer at the back is how the hub centric ring is held in place by the rim.

That problem would be the same on D1 and RRC and maybe the series models

Pro Comp Defender steel rims are also the same,they sit off the hub.

I wonder if the spacer fits them as well?

Hi guys,


Happy to look at them if anyone in Brisbane is happy to be part of a development I am sure we can work something out for their trouble.

Dynamic rims are all made to be nut centric rather than hub centric as far as I know. I've had them on a few different vehicles and that's just the way they are.

This is a great idea as it makes fitting wheels correctly a lot easier. I recently had a new vibration at speed that was fixed by going over the wheels and refitting each one carefully which is a pain.

Will these fit the 300TDi Defender Nugget?

Yep, Defender steel wheels centre on the studs, alloys centre on the centre spigot. Many steel wheels centre on the studs.
