Saw these wheels on sale online. Want to replace my stock Discovery 1 wheels with them. Not sure how they're going to look with this back spacing and off set. Anybody have any ideas what the 4.5 inch back spacing and 2mm off set is going to do for the Disco's "stance"? Stock wheels give a sunken look, what will these do?
Thanks.

I don't know for certain but those sound like the same specs as the stock wheels. Do you have a picture of the wheels or a link to the site?

 

I am reading that right? $50 per wheel. That's a smoking good deal. And those are nice looking wheels. I may have to try and snag a set.

I missed that the wheels are 8" wide. The factory alloys are 7" wide. From what I have read those wheels are going to sit pretty much like the factory wheels, not push the tires out from under the wheel wells. They should work great with 265/75s. I think with that kind of backspacing you're going to have the "sunken" look. Can't think of any way around that. Adapter are only going to change your bolt pattern to the much weaker bolt pattern like the D2 use. My Dodge is running the factory 17x8 wheels with 265/70s and it looks really good.

With a 2" lift there is no need to trim the fenders for 265/76R16. They fit just fine. What are you planning to use the truck for? What year is your D1?

 

Thats a pretty good deal, Ebay was previously the cheapest at about $95 each. They have been discontinued so thats probably the reason for the price drop. I may snag a set too.

 

JBeezy53, Did you try those wheels. If so, how did it fit with your tires.

Believe or not, they are still on sale !!!

Does any know if you mount 315/75/16 on these wheels for a lifted Disco I? without losing too much turning radius?

Thinking about getting these for my 315's.
