    Steel rims, lift kit. ANY IDEA??

    Hi everyone, looking for a set of steely's for my 110, and also for my old mans 130. 16x7 would be good, don't want to damage my good ones. Been looking on a few forums and maybe king wheels, has anyone else got a set of these in south-east queensland, where and how much. and lift kit, i want to run micky mtz' think 33's will i need a lift kit or will they fit, don't want to cut anything out either. and how much extra travel will i get, i'm new to this so its better to ask these simple questions before i spend few hundred bucks without thinking. Whats everyone thoughts or idea's
    cheers

    Stock Disco rims are 16 x 7. They might not be rated officially for a 130 but I'm sure there won't be a problem as I've seen them fitted on these before.

    they will fit, they will rub in some places...radius arms when turning and maybe rear spring perches, depending on how wide you go with the 33's and what off set you run.

    2'' lift is prefered.

    cheers phil

    What he said. Disco rims are a heavier construction than any other LR or aftermarket rims I have seen. Including 16x6 rims.

    Thanks guys, any idea on cost for a set of 5. And what brand and cost is a good lift kit, i've seen anywhere from around $900 to $2500. Another question, how wide an offset can you go before you need to get bigger flares??

    They are no longer made, so it depends on what you can pick them up for. I paid around $40 ea for mine and the same again to get the offset changed.

    You can run narrow 33's without a spring lift - e.g. up to around 285/75-16.

    +30mm extra offset on the disco rims and 285s will have you at about the limit of what the flares will cover.

    In that case would it be easier to find a new set of steel rims form somewhere,

    I bought 5 Disco steel rims about 8 months ago for $70 each - happy with them so far.
