Delta Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hello, Concerning my disco 300tdi (1997) i'm tinking of swapping my alu disco wheels for some steel defender weels. Do they have more offset then the disco alu-wheels, or is the same? Thanks for the advice, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 It depends on what you mean by "defender weels". Personally, I would refer to Defender steel wheels as to the steel wheels originally fitted to Defenders from factory (5.5, 6, 6.5, 7 inches rim width). Some will have the same offset, some not. But I don't think you want to fit those (except the latter). Post a picture, give a link or give us a name/part# and we'll be able to tell what the offset is. One option would be to fit the Discovery OE steel wheels. These have the same offset as the alloys (ET37). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have alu disco wheels and want to put the white def wheels see pics Cheers a lot, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipx2 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 The alloys on your vehicle are 7x16x33 and I think the white rims are 5.5x16x33. Same offset and the steel wheels are skinnier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 there are 2 different offsets for defender steel wheels, i had a 88" steel wheel on my disco for a while as a spare but had to take it off as the offste was too small and the tyre was ripping itself on the radius arm 88" steel wheels are the same as 90 i think so you should check if they are 90 or 110 steels 110 ones are fine because i use this as a spare a lot mikey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
