Thread: fitting 130 rim on a 110

I would expect so. Did you want the wider rims or is it a case of you need one and thats what you have?

Hi,edd,no I have being given a 130 spare rim and tyre,I was wanting to now , if I can use it on my 110 defender,as a spare..keith

130 rims are 6.5 wide rather than 5.5 wide - I think - and have a higher load rating. so, fine for 130 rims to go on 110, not so fine for 110 rims to go on 130.

Cheers
Simon

Coz it's wider than 110's and you've only got the one, use it STRICTLY as a spare for emergencies ONLY........steering will be affected if it's either on front or back coz you'll have the track off center on one side - that's what makes steering work.

As an emergency it should be ok. I would agree about it not being desirable to have only the one on there to very long. Pity your not local. I would have happily swapped one of the 110 rims I have here for another 130 rim.

Hi edd,Its is a pity you are so far away,I would swap the rim and tyre over for your 110 rim........I have found it very hard to get a spare rim for my defender....I am off out west in june,and would like to have two spare tyres on rims,just in case.........any way I have my other spare,plus the 130 tyre and rim.....so I should be ok.......regards keith

Cool. I have a full set of 5 110 rims here as emergency tyres. Havn't used them but it's good to know I can put them on to get the rig into town for repairs.
