Default Will this 16' Discovery Rim fit my DII?

Thinking about downsizing rims from 18" to 16". Founds these but not sure if they'll fit and the seller can't provide me any info.

As long as it's a discovery II wheel, not a DI wheel than yes. It appears to be a DII wheel though.

looks like the ones i switched my 18"s out for. should be good to go. you can always put it up on a jack and test fit it to be sure, or just measure the distance between the lugs.

I might get flamed for this, but why not just use your 18" wheels. They are starting to make a lot of options in the 18" size. I went from 16" Mirage stock alloys to 18" Comets and really like them. I have my 16" Mirage wheels sitting in the garage.

tires for the 16" are cheaper. and there are more options. and for the off roading i do, i prefer more rubber, less wheel.

The tires are about $100.00 more per tire for an 18" rim. Plus the ride quality with the 18's is anything be stellar.

My other issue is I have a rim on my 04' that needs to be refinished due to corrosion which will cost me about $100.00.

If I can get a good deal on this set of 16" then I could kill to birds with one stone. Save $100.00 on my 04' rim and install 16"s that are far less expensive, better ride and off-road capabilities.

I could also sell my set of Hurricane's which are in excellent condition and probably get about $300.00 for the set. Anyone interested?

Scored these 16' wheels for $99.00 on ebay + 125 ofr shipping and they are very very nice. Now just need to get some rubber on them. Can't wait to see if the 03' will ride differently which I assume it will. Still trying to decide between General AT2's or Coopers Discoveries. Doesn't look like much of a market for my 18' Hurricanes so I guess I'll keep them for the corrosion that takes a rim from 04' every couple of years.
