    1 Ton wheels on defender 130

    Can pick up some 1 Ton wheels with 255 70 16 tyres. Can't find much information on these type of wheels, and what there is , seems a bit confusing. I like the traditional wheel look. What is the load rating of these wheels 1000kg? If that is the case no good for 130. What is the offset? Will these rub on a standard height 130 defender. Are they tubeless or tubed type wheels?
    Thanks

    If they are from the Landrover One Ton, built in the 1960s and 1970s (Series 2a and 3), they are similar to the Series or 110/early Defender wheels except with wider (I think 6") wheels, designed to take 9.00x16 tyres with tubes (i.e. no ridge). I doubt they have any published load rating, but should be suitable for a 130. Being designed for the Series bodywork there should not be an issue with the offset. Note that the One ton was never sold in Australia, and I have seen no confirmed information that any exist here, although apparently a few have come in over the years.
