I have been looking for someone to make them also. Ive been looking for about a year and no luck. As far as running 33-12.50 your looking at least 3" lift wheel spacers and a lot of cutting to make them fit.

Looks like people make adapter to go to the newer small Rover pattern, not sure why anybody would want to pay that much for a set.

Do you have any idea what needs to be modified to handle that large a wheel, axle, lift, wheel spacers, drive shafts lockers and a hole handle full of suspension parts besides the lift.

Yes sir I do. Thats why I have 3x's more money under the truck then what I paid for the truck. I run 33-12.50's on mine with ARB's f&r with GBR axles ashcroft 4.37 gears rovertyme suspension, ome springs with spacers, tom woods driveshafts and numerus other things. I will agree its not just as easy as puting springs in and slapping tires on.

Hi Guys i am new here, and writing from Colombia South America.
I just installed wheel adapter on my Disco I, to fit Range Rover Hurracaine 18" wheels, the truck looks very good. Not recomended for extreme off-roading.
I will post pics tomorrow.
