I have a P400 SE, came with the 20" wheels. Also have a 2 inch proud rhino lift. I really like the 22", and i was told all the defender's have the same bolt pattern and stuff that i can put the 22" on my SE. I bought the 285/45/22 nitto ridge grapplers and the 22" inch tires, took them to 3 different tire shops to mount and balance, and before they even put the tires on the wheels, they tested the wheel fitment, and they all said they wont fit. Do you know what's going on? Do i need spacers or something?

 

You mean you bought 22" wheels? What is the width of the wheel?

I have those same tires on 22 x 9.5 wheels and they fit fine.

 

The 22 wheels from Land Rover will fit just fine.

 

im not sure why 3 different tire shops are telling me they're not fitting. any possible ideas or problem that could be going on? i have a 2 inch lift on it to get the grapplers on too, so i dont understand

 

yep they're the same ones- the 22 inch defender ones. you have an SE defender that came with 20" wheels and you were able to get the 22" on fine?

 

All the rims have the same bolt pattern. OEM 20"s and 22's fit on every single New Defender made. No exceptions. Your tire shops are talking bollox.

Easy to fact check this. Take off a wheel and fit a 22". Front or rear. Makes no difference.

 

okay thanks for info!
