275/55/20 BFG Ko2 w/ 30MM Spacers installed
#21
here are the full specs
20x8.5
Offset 25
Back spacing 5.730
I have them on my defender with BF KO2 275/55/20 so no need for wheel spacers as the combination of 275 and the 25 offset is enough
Access height
Normal height

I see you have Duratracs mounted. What do you think of those? Noisy?
My 18" OEM AT adventures from goodyear are wearing down steadily and need to think of replacement.

Both the 25mm and 30mm width spacers above also come in another configuration, the 50757260 and 60757260, respectively.
The part numbers ending in 57 fit the Disco 4 (and others), while the part numbers ending in 60 fit the Disco 5 (and others). All the vehicles that either the 57 or the 60 series fit feature hubs with 5x120 bolt patterns, M14 x 1.5” threads, and 72.6mm center bores. The difference is the length of the studs. Which can certainly be important. The 60 series have longer studs than the 57 series. Apparently many of the new RR and LR vehicles use longer studs. That’s not to say the Defender does though… nobody seems to know yet.
And I do mean nobody, ha ha. I have been trying, unsuccessfully so far, to acquire the stud lengths of the Disco 4, 5, and the new Defender from several Land Rover parts and service departments (incredibly, no specs are given in their parts order database for the various replacement studs). The national support line had no clue either… They were going to ask national tech support, but they had already closed by the time I called. Will try again tomorrow.
In any event Once we have that info, it’s a simple matter of whether the Defender’s stud length matches that of the 4 or the 5, and that will tell us whether the part numbers ending in 57 or 60 are correct. I’d assume the 60 series, as those seem to encompass newer vehicles, but again, who knows.
Hopefully I’ll have some info soon.

@JesseRohr - Just saw the thread and LOVE your lift/spacer/tires. But, I'm a rank amatuer. Spacer/offset is not something I'm familiar with. What beyond making the stance wider did the spacers do for you? Did it change the load bearing in any way? The way I understand it (which is likely wrong), is that the offset is important to understand where the weight of the vehicle was riding on the wheelset. I'm thinking of just going spacer & 1.5" lift with the same tire size. Did you change the rims?

I wanted to do something that was short and wide. The factory “off road” tires are boring to me. I also wanted a wider foot print.
I used H&R 30MM spacers front and rear and 275/55/20 BFG Tires.
There is no rubbing at all on or off road at normal or off road height. Haven’t tried access height.
I will take some better pics tomorrow after I get my windows tinted.

Do the KO2's fit without the spacers or were they a requirement to get the fatter tyre to fit in the well? Looking at doing the same swap without spacers if it's doable. They look great and have the triple peak snow emblem.

30mm Spacer for 2022 Defender 90X 20inch OEM wheels
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)
