Wheel question
I realize this subject has been discussed quite a bit...I am searching for a good source for wheels that would fit a 2023 Defender 110 without any modifications to the brake calipers or the addition of spacers. I am looking for aftermarket wheels that will be used with snow tires for the winter. Any suggestions and recommendations would be highly appreciated.

Honestly, I just poached an original set where the owner wanted to get some cooler wheels. They had languished for sale for quite a while and I got all 4, with caps for $500. Which was really better than I could have done with aftermarket. Funny part is they were the style I had had wanted but couldn't come with the Defender 90X, don't know why, but they fit perfectly with no interference from the commodious calipers and a set of Cooper AT-3 4S snow tires hung on them.

20” for P400

what engine option do you have - P400 or P300? If you have the P400, would suggest going with 20” wheels as that would give you more tire options. Redbourne seem to be a popular choice https://www.blackrhinowheels.com/off...ston-br005.php

I ended up ordering a set of 5 LR OEM wheels off ebay, not my preferred design but they will do for snow tires. I will have them painted black as they are silver in color. As for tires, yes, they are in very short supplies and I could only get the Bridgestone Blizzaks as they were in stock and ready to ship. I did get the 275-55-20 size.
Thank you all for your input.

well, I just ordered blizzaks in that size on redbourne alston after my white knuckle drive here in snow and ice michigan weather. the snow mode and manual shifting actually helped with stock michelins but I'm sure it's confidence inspiring if it were actually on snow tires.
