Ok, maybe I'm odd but here goes. I have been looking for the right off road tire for a while. I have found that, in North America anyway, that there are more brand ,model and size options of tire for 17 inch rims than 16s.
I have heard that there are after market wheels with our bolt pattern. I can't find them.
Anyone know where to find 17 inch rims for a Dii?
Thanks.

 

For the most part, there are more 16" tire sizes available. Either way, you want all the sidewall you can get.

 

nope, if you find a 17 it probably from a freelander.
you can have 16 & 18 in steel for about $150ea

 

You could also get 17" steel rims.

 

where?

 

Tire Rack has some. You could also get them from Discount/America's Tire, they will install it for you with tires. They will also make sure that your choice or rim and tire is compatable with your D2.

 

Summit Racing has a pretty big selection. Bolt pattern is a 5x4.75, width is 8", backspacing of 3.5-4" is typically a good choice. You'll need new lug nuts.

 

Should be 4.72... but I suppose they're just wheels, some variation shouldn't vibrate TOO badly.

 

That's nearly no difference, and if you torque them in the right pattern they will center up. I've talked to a few guys running Cragars with that pattern no problem.

 

FWIW, I have 16x8 steelies for $75/each brand new from TF. Not aware of any readily available 17s for the D2, or any other rover with the proper pattern.
