Yup

Well chuffed as imo they are a cracking tyre, the 235's i'm replacing are Grabbers too

LR show 8J for the 255's on the D2. I'm not at my home PC for the screen dump pictures, so can't post the D1 and D2 tables out of the handbook.

Look at where the wheel nuts got, this is not possable and be safe!!!!

Presumed you can just put the nuts on the other way round. See plenty of Disco's and Defender's driving round like that.

That's what I put on mine, but I got mine for £370 fitted and balanced. Which I didn't think was to bad!

not if you want to drive it on the road safely

Strange, seem a few driving round like that. Loads of people tell me its fine then other say its the worst thing to do.
But no explains why either way lol.

because the taper on nut and rim not correct with wheel reversed= no alignment and locking, further to this depending on offset created =extra stress on studs and hub

V8_Disco · Apr 4, 2010

you would only do it if was on an old vehicle you were ragging round off the road

if you did it normally the wheel would probs not be lined up and might come loose, also im not sure on the legality of it aswell?

Co-Pang-Yang · Apr 4, 2010

Ok cool, thanks for the explaination. That make sense, i'll keep the wheels on the right way round, except for the odd day at Bures.
Defently going to cut my front wings now, God knows what the tyres will catch on.
