If anyone is looking for a set of four 20" wheels with TPMS sensors for winter tires, I just posted a set for sale here:

We had planned on ordering a second Defender but the current long and uncertain production time didn't work for us.

Hi everyone! It would not be easy to find winter wheels for my D90 V8. Only 20 and 22 size of rims fits V8 version. My choice - Michelin X-Ice Snow in OEM size 275/45/22

Nokians in action. Friday morning in Stowe, VT. Doubt I would have made it from the unplowed driveway of our rental house to the slopes without the winter tires.

Tested my Continental Viking Contact 7 snow tires over both snow and ice the past few days, really impressed with both the vehicle and tires. They’re also quieter than my summer road tires.

Anyone running new winter tire setups this year? Seems like 275/55/R20 is the most popular size.

Just ordered a set of 5 Nokian Hakkapeliitta R5 SUV tires in 275/55/R20 for our second Defender that supposedly arrives in January. Running the R3 version on our other Defender in winter. Be sure to order 5...if you ruin one on a pothole it will be impossible to find a replacement winter tire once they are all sold out. Plus, Nokian recently shut down their Russian plant which was their largest production facility. I read that it employed 1600 workers.

What size and offset do we need if we buy an aftermarket 20" wheel for the winter months with snow tires?

There are very few aftermarket wheels available with the correct offset (43?). Your best bet is to pick up a set of used OEM wheels on ebay. Just do a search using "Land Rover Defender OEM wheels 20". I almost bought these until I decided to spend a little more and buy a set of silver wheels posted in the marketplace on this forum.
