the tyres only come in these sizes and they offer ridiculous amounts of grip, so its a hard decision to make especially when im spending upwards of a thousand pounds on tyres and wheels. 205 / 60 R16 104 Q 285 / 75 R16 122/119 N-Q 235 / 70 R16 106 Q 265 / 70 R16 112 Q

Hi Guys, So i am looking into purchasing some insaturbo k2s for greenlaning an trialing, the tyres im after don't come in stock size and 285/75 is the closest i can get to stock without being ridiculously small. So i plan on using the tyre on a 16x8 inch rim with 0 offset. Has anyone got any advice on whether the turning circle will be absolutely awful for driving let alone trialing. Ideally i want as little stick out and as big of a turning circle to be able to efficiently trial and get close to winning, any info or tips regarding running tyres this big on a stock defender is needed and info about the steering angle.

Hi guys, After some info from anyone with any tuning knowledge, ive been playing about with my 200tdi and am looking for more power without swapping the engine. So far I have done the usual full width intercooler shortened the waste gate actuator turned up the fuel pump spun the starwheel and moved the boost pin. With diesels im aware to get more power I need more fuel and more boost, the boost I know has a limit and I haven't got to that get with my stock disco 200tdi turbo. regarding fuel from what I know too much fuel and my egts will be too high when the engine is under load. I am considering modifying my intake and spraying water meth inside the intake to lower the combustion temp, so now the question is can I do this and keep turning up the fuel until I see high egts and gain more power or will this not work? If I could have some advice, and any other tips on tuning a disco 200tdi are welcome. Cheers Ben

Yh I have figured that out now and will post a pic soon with my new wheels and tyres. Cheers

Thanks for the input after some calculations and you guys advice Im going to get some 7x16 steels from raptor 4x4 with 0 offset and i should only sit 9mm in without spacers Turns out my boost alloys are 16x8 aswell. cheers Ben

I have had a look and Cant find D1 steel wheels with +33mm offset. Any idea why? Cheers

Hi guys, I am new to this page and only 17 so take it easy. I currently have a 1990 90 truck cab it has a set of boost alloys, these wheels are 16x7 and have an offset of +33 these are paired with some continetal tyres that are 235/85. I also have 30mm spacers behind these wheels(put on by previous owner.) I am looking at getting some new steel wheels and some Toyo open country MTS, I would get the same size tyre but i cant get steel wheels with +33mm offset However i could get rid of my 30mm spacers and just get some zero offset steel wheels. I am worried that these tyres might foul the arch as they are quite big, The truck is stock height and driven offroad and for farm work and very short work commutes. I was wondering if I could get some advice. and whether i should get the zero offset steelies. Cheers Ben

I know this is an old post but I took the boost pin out of my injector pump and in doing so I lost the plastic collar that's sits above the starwheel, this was a stupid mistake on my half and the collar has completely disappeared. Question is can I run the engine without the collar and can anyone help me source a collar. Cheers Ben
