I was researching this wheel too.
I like the looks of it. I think I like best in all black.
I found these videos that show it in all black.





Seems the wheels are from a company called Forza.

Anyone know where I might find a set of these wheels in stock.
‘Seems they have been discontinued, however I was still in hopes I could find a set somewhere.
Redbourne Morland Land Rover Wheels






‘Seems every time I find a wheel I like I can’t seem to find anywhere to buy it.

Anyone one have any recommendations or links to good US located wheel sources for finding a good selection of 20” 5x120 rim.

Well I am about to pull the trigger on set of these OCTA rims.


20x9 +30 5x120



I have never ordered anything from overseas like this, so fingers crossed that it all goes well.
The ones I am going with are the same ones in their add listings.

Those in that stated spec are in stock.
They ship air freight and take 7-14 days to get here.

I am thinking I am going to go with the 285/55R20 Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws.
Anyone see any reason for concern for any rubbing with this combo.

I think they will fit but just be a little bit outside of the wheel well. I have a set of factory 18’s in white I want to fit on my P400. I am looking for calipers and rotors to swap them out.

First time Land Rover owner here. Just took delivery of my '24 Defender 110 X which I am loving. As others have already confirmed, I am running the BFG Trail Terrain in a 285/45-22 with no issues, rubbing, etc.

That tire is very close in spec to what I am thinking I want to run. Your tire should be about 32.1 tall and 11.2 wide.
The catch might be your OEM 22s are 9" wide with +43 offset.
The Octa Wheels I am ordering are 9" wide +30 offset.
So that will push me mine out 13mm or 1/2 inch.
My V8 Defender 90 is also coming with same 22"s you has.

It supposed to be getting delivered here later this evening and I can start taking some measurement.


I am bit concerned at the moment that the either Tire rack specs or Custom offsets specs are wrong about the P285/55R20 Falkens I am wanting to buy.

Tire rack shows it as 11.7 section width and custom offsets specs show it as 11.2 which 11.2 is what 285 is supposed to be.
Both show the height at 32.4

If the 11.2 is correct I think they would be about perfect.
Going to take some measurements off the car tonight whenever it arrives before placing the tire order.

Thanks alot for the info.

@cc1999 Hope delivery went well last night. Definitely envious of the V8, which should be insane in the 90.

Keep us posted on how the Octas work out as I could see swapping to those in the future.

I received confirmation my order went through last night, there is whole lengthy process it seems in getting these shipped and imported into the US, not likely a big deal.
Just that whole process plus transit time is expected to make the lead time getting them take about 2-3 weeks. Relatively pricy too. A set of 5 is around $4K us . That’s assuming I don’t get hit with any crazy high duty or import fees when they come through customs.

After driving the 90 V8 last night for the first time, I pretty much new right away those 22s needed to go, the ride is not terrible, but it is a bit too firm for my liking.
I would be dropping to 18s if not for the brake clearance issues.


I did do some measuring. I think I have the room to go with the 285 tire on the +30 rims and be fine on the rear, Only the front seems to be a bit of a concern, since I don’t want any poke, flush is great, but slinging mud and dirt etc down the sides of the Rover is not something I want at all.

Forza the wheel manufacture recommended P275/60R20s, I probably should at least check into those before ordering the P275/55R20s.

My apologies for the noob question (new to the forum and new to the Defender), but I haven't figured out how to search within a thread...

I just got a 2024 Defender 110 V8. Love it! However, as it comes with 22" tires as OEM, and I'm trying to get winter tires for it (I live in Colorado), I'm trying to determine the best option.

I can obviously go for a 22" tire close to the size of the current one (275/45/22), finding something like a 285/45/22 that I've seen talked about in this thread as a size for BFG All terrain tires (I'd likely do the Michelin X-Ice SUV, though).

However, wanting to potentially get a narrower tire with more sidewall, I also am wondering if I could fit a 20" wheel on the vehicle (and what specs that wheel would need to have) with something like a size of 255/60/20?

Yes on the 20s, that is the smallest Rim you can go with and not have to do any modifications to your brakes.
That is what I just ordered for my V8 90, which the V8s have larger brakes but 20" rims are an approved size wheel by Land Rover.
I wanted the taller sidewall for both better rim protection, as well as smoother ride.
