Try www.roversnorth.com or www.roverparts.com for the rims. They both sell Wolf wheels which are the strongest rover wheel you can get. I wouldn't reccomend a body lift either. Most spring lifts up to 3" are perfectly civilised on the road. You could also keep your 2" lift and add spring spacers for an added inch of lift. Wheel spacers will help return the steering to normal when using larger diameter tires and they also make the vehicle more stable at high speed. As mentioned earlier fender flares will require some cutting of the body. Up front this is not so bad but in the rear the door will need to be cut into as well as the inner wheelarch. The rear wheels on lifted discos with ovesize tires are the main source of rub on uncut bodies. Some of the rubbing can be cured by adding a spacer between the inner mudguard and outer fender at the rear of the rear wheelarch, pushing the rear quarterpanel out. Up front, not much can be done besides cutting the fender a bit wider.
