18 inch wheels

[OkieRover]

Do I want to stay on these wheels?
Or should I move to something a "normal" tire will fit on?

The 18's look good but is anyone offroading with them?
I don't invision myself rock climbing in my D2 but I would like to get off the pavement in the future.

16'ers are a better way to go, the are less expensive and you get a much larger selection of tire sizes and treads. The side walls are strong and you will get a better ride cause you have more sidewall to cushion the ride.

Is the bolt pattern the same for all Land Rovers?
I.E. will Classic wheels fit on a Disco 2?

Im still using my my 18"

will change to 16" for more options

There are 2 different bolt patterns for Rovers, those found on Defenders and older Rangies and D1's and the newer patter found on P38's and DII's.

I looked on expedition exchange for wheels with no luck.
Where does a fellow get a set of defender wheels for his Disco 2?
Maybe I should also say "in the United States?"

You can't run Defender wheels on a DII.
Lots of used wheels on E-Bay and many of the Rover forums. Remember you can only use wheels from a P38 or new and DIIs.

You can get some black steelies at Safari gaurd for around $75 bucks a wheel or shop on here and somebody usually has some for sell.
