So I am looking at wheels for getting my off road setup started on my disco. I want it to still look good. So here are my questions

1. What the hell is an H wheel offset. Looking on google it says its for commerical vehicles and thats as far as i can get.
2. Pre 99 discos shared the wheel patterns with the defender. Can I convert my 04 to this? Is it worth it?
3. Whats everyones favorite 16" wheel in the 5x112 H offset catagory or alternative. If alt please specify the offset and how its working for you.

Is there an advantage to using a shallower offset(pushing the wheel out to get bigger tires on) over using spacers?

Go Go Gadget smart people!

 

1. No clue. I spent weeks researching wheel options, ended up settling on the terrafirma beadlock alloy wheels. $970 shipped from UK. I'd suggest those, the dakar black ones (silver is no longer made), or 16x7 steelies (on the cheap)
2. I don't think wheel adapters are a particularly good idea. Just personal opinion.
3. as I said in #1, if you want to pull the trigger on something asap, go with one of those 3. Or, spend weeks trying to find a matching bolt pattern, backspacing, hub diameter, etc

I really wanted the 16x7 silver steelies (for the d1/defender), but couldn't figure out a good route to convert the bolt pattern. I didn't want wheels sticking out super far either.

The TF beadlocks are 16x7 non-beadlocked, and 16x8 beadlocked. Beadlocking is completely optional. I run them non-beadlocked, with 235/85r16 tires.

 

Went earlier Rover 16" on my '03 Disco and spacers. Had the wheels powder coated and very happy with the results.

 

Jeff, where did you get your wheel arches?

 

I'll trade my set of gangsta RR 20" wheels n low mileage tires on my 04 Disco(unsure of mileage, previous owner said he bought whls/tires new early this year)
For a set of black or grey something with good AT tires.
Sorry for threadjack.
