Default Wheel bore out info
Wanting to fit some 18 inch Hurricanes to my 07 V8 LR3 and could do with supplying my metal shop with info on how much the hubs need to be bored out.
Do any members have experience of having this done?
Many thx

IIRC the center bore needs to go from 70.1 mm to 72.6 mm

No idea on getting it done.

Also be sure to look at the strength of those rims. The LR3 weighs in at 1300 lbs more

I've also heard I can fit spacers rather than bore out the wheel centres

I'm sure you can. Not sure I would. Why not find a set of 18" LR3 wheels

This is probably the best solution but there arn't too many 2nd hand options here in Vancouver and I really like the look of the Hurricanes 🤔

I agree. I see zero utility in modifying to something non-standard.

Especially if you only want 31.5" tires...you can do that stock. Or at min with an IIDTool, which you should have anyway.
