Ref L663 Defender 110 X with 20" wheels.

Can I mount Wrangler Duratracs onto 20" Wheel Style 6011 6-Spoke Glossy Black?

I want the glossy 20" 6-spoke glossy black 6011s with Wrangler Duratracs. However, when building the 2023 Defender 110 X on the Land Rover USA website and at the dealer, there is not an option to pair the Wrangler all terrain tire with the 20" 6011 6-Spoke glossy black wheel. It only allows the option to pair the Wrangler all terrain tire with the 20" Style 5098, Dark Satin Grey. This will require me to order the 6011s with All-Season tires and then $wap these all-seasons out for Wrangler Duratracs.

Questions: Will there be any rubbing or other critical issues if I mount Wrangler Duratracs onto the 20" 6011 6-spoke glossy wheels? i.e. Does the 20" 6011 wheel have the same offset as the 20" 5098 wheel?

As far as I know, all factory wheels have the same offset (save maybe for the 22") and all factory recommended tires are sized the same (all-seasons, winters and all-terrains), so it must be a configurator issue. Perhaps they don't want you to go off-roading on shiny gloss black wheels, who knows. Regardless, you'd have to buy the Duratracs from the dealer (or an indy tire shop) after receiving the Defender, you would not be able to order them from the factory, regardless of the wheel type or size you pick. The Goodyear A/Ts installed in Nitra are the "tamer" Wrangler Adventures, good tires for mild off-roading and lots of pavement.

 

Someone else asked about those on a different forum and said they were told by LR that the 6011 has a different rating and they're not supposed to be fitted with AT tires.

Maybe but it could very possibly be bad information.

 

That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen, supplying a factory wheel with an insufficient rating on a vehicle designed to go off-road. Hopefully that's not true.
