Hi,

You have to be more specific to what size of wheel, which style and what the original offset is.

Even though all of the Defender wheels, no matter if they are 18", 19", 20" or 22", it sounds like the offset is the same 41.5mm, other LRs have different offsets. I believe I have read that there are LR4 wheels with a 53mm offset. So if you added a spacer, you adjust it by the width of the spacer.

The wheel is a 20x8.5 with 41.5mm offset. With the spacers the wheel is pushed out 30mm creating a 20x8.5 with 11.5mm offset.

H&R makes a set of 25mm spacers as well that would work. 20x8.5 with 16.5mm offset would be that functional setup.

25mm set - Part number 50757257 (you need two)
30mm set - Part number 60757257 (you need two)

I have a set of the 25mm spacers that I just purchased last week, installed once and removed immediately (I was trying them with a 275/60 R20 and found that that tire is too tall -barely). Willing to sell for $180 SHIPPED within the United States. Less than half the price of new.

Hi V10 - I have 275 60 R20 KO2s on a 1.5” lift. - questions.

What brand are the spacers?
Do you have a lift?
Do only the front rub when turned?

Thanks
M

I have the Johnson Rods 1.5” lift. The spacers are H&R and yes they only rub in the front at full turn. They also sometimes grab the edge of the a portion of the front mudflaps that sit inside the fender well.

Looking at a set of redbourne alstons to replace my OEM 20”s. I think they are a 25mm offset. Guess that’s the same as a 16.5mm spacer.

Hi Jesse, @JesseRohr quick question. Did you notice any handling differences with the 30mm spacers? I used them on my Jeep and they seem to make the steering feel different.

The DRM line I would hope, yes? Also, says they fit a center bore of 72.5?… Defender hubs are listed as 72.6. Although I’ve heard the actual measurement is 72.56 (unverified). Did you install these yourself and check the fitment? Any tiny play from either the 1mm or .04mm difference, whichever it may be? Truck looks great!

SmokinV10, I’d go as far as to say they’re only slightly different offset as to the factory spec wheels. They appear to protrude slightly more, but not as much as the OP, hence why I’m trying to look for some 20mm spacers that will fit the D300 HSE in the UK.
