First, anyone know the load limit per wheel on our 18" Hurricane wheels ?
Second, what would be the minimum load rating per wheel that one would
want to put on their Disco give max. vehicle weight (6200 lbs.) ? I know it
can't be as simple as 6200 divided by four....:confused ]]> Wheels and Tires spiderfreak80 http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/load-limit-aftermarket-wheels-36655/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/tire-size-19-20-inch-wheel-36638/ Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:48:48 GMT Alright guys, I realize this forum is traditionally an off-roading forum and most of you could never fathom something larger than a 16" wheel. However, I've got a disco II that I am putting an OME standard lift kit on. The most off roading I do is gravel roads (I know, this is blasphemy to you guys). I'd like to run a 20 inch wheel with a tire diameter of around 33". I understand from reading that this is pushing it with the OME lift, but I am hoping since I am staying on road I can get away with it. Can you guys share some insight into a tire selection for me? I was looking at a 275/60/20. Again, my apologies for keeping my disco on the pavement. My wife and I love this care, and I just want to update the look and give it a nice aggressive stance. TIA for your input!

I'm new to the forum world. I was wondering if anyone new how much lift I need on my 95' Disco, to clear 35x12.50's? I've spent countless hours searching the web, and I haven't found squat. My goal is to run 35's with the smallest amount of lift possible, so as to keep the center of gravity as low as I can. Obviously, I know that I'll need to upgrade my axles, driveshafts, ect... as well as change my gearing, and trim the crap out of my fenders. Thanks! ]]> Wheels and Tires Buzzard http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/how-much-lift-clear-35x12-50s-36580/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/tire-info-needed-36401/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 17:31:38 GMT Hi guy's ....

I have a "Non-Land Rover" tire question.

We have a 05' GMC Yukon and I am looking at getting some good A/T tires. I love the BFG's as they are awesome...also fucking exspensive. Anyone on here have a tahoe,suburban,yukon etc that has A/T's and can advise as I need a good snow tire too. Nothing to rugged as let's face it...it's a Yukon and is a great truck,but not the most quality offroading machine. Just going to use to go elk hunting and driving through the passes and around town for stuff and occasional towing.

Any ideas would be welcome.I know tires ok but every truck has it's own quirks and depending on make..it's own drivability issues. Not just one A/T will do for every truck if you get what I'm saying. ]]> Wheels and Tires Series 3 guy http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/tire-info-needed-36401/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/dangerous-tires-36326/ Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:32:34 GMT Dangerous Tires (http://www.discountpartcenter.com/tire_reviews_and_news/10-30-09-Dangerous-Tires.htm) old tires have expiration dates.

I have lined up Hubcentric rings for them, but the dealers tech is telling me that I will have
to switch from my factory lugs over to a 14x1.5 "Acorn Spline Lug". Basically a thinner replacement that will fit the wheels. I hate "shrinkage" on anything
having to do with a Land Rover, but will this end up being ok ??:confused:confused ]]> Wheels and Tires spiderfreak80 http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/lug-nut-help-please-36168/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/wheels-effect-offroading-36078/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 06:36:11 GMT If I were to put 20" rims on a 2000 Range Rover would the off roading capabilities be screwed with because of the smaller tires. ]]> Wheels and Tires jhagan http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/wheels-effect-offroading-36078/ http://www.landroversonly.com/forums/f42/rims-my-disco-36071/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:21:21 GMT do any websites sell black rims for a 2003 disco II i have bf goodrich 265/75/16 tires do any websites sell black rims for a 2003 disco II
