Hello all.

I have recently bought a Disco 2 Adventurer which arrlved with 5, rather nice, 18" Hurricane alloys with road tyres. This is great except that I am likely to take it off road and I think I will a. get stuck and b. stuff up my nice new wheels. Thus I am looking to source some 16" rims with AT tyres and save the Hurricanes for Sunday best.

Therefore my question is which rims will fit a Disco 2? Ebay is awash with Disco rims but I don't want to buy a set which are not compatible.

Many thanks for taking the time to contemplate an answer.

disco 200tdi/300tdi will not fit same as the 200/300 defenders but as the post above says p38 onwards will fit what about some rims off a td5 defender

Pretty sure all defender rims are same. only discovery2/p38 are same and discovery3/vogue fit each other.
 
thought the stud pattern had changed on the td5 defenders as disco 2 alloys fit td5 defenders
 
Boost alloys do not fit DII's. They will fit Defender TD5's because the Defs have the same stud pattern as DI's and RRC. They didn't change their stud pattern until approx 2008.
 
Well I dunno. Swerving the subject a bit, I wonder how many of us actually have two sets of wheels and in every day situations change them to suit where we are going to be driving. I thought long and hard about getting some mud terrains on a new set of wheels and keeping my road-shod wheels. In the end, I changed the road tyres for all terrains and they do pretty much everything. Okay they are jacks of all trades and masters of none, but they're pretty good at both and I don't spend all that down time jacking and spannering.

Sorry. You can have the thread back now....:eek:

Stuff giving 'em the thread back, the questions answered, let swerve commence .. ;)

I'd definitely have two sets if I could afford it .. AT's, which I currently have and BFO Simex or similar for Pay 'n Play days. At's fine for reasoinable and quite gnarly green-laning, but just don't cut it when you wanna dig chunks out of the earth .. or **** off the bobble-hat brigades .. ;)
 
Did you sort your wheels? If not I got a set of Disco2 rims here, I wanted £50 for the set, I can post them for £75 all in. Let me know
 
Don't have set for off roading, I have a tractor for that, but have 2 sets of 18" alloys and keep one set 'as new' for winter then run them off in the summers.
Have a set of snow tyres on rims for the gaylander. Changed them last week just before the snow came.
But then the wife says I'm addicted to wheels and trailers. ;)
 
I has 3 sets. of wheels. The one's on me disco now. 265/75/16 BFG Muds. on the old 3 spoke RR wheels. the set I took off disco alloys with 235/70/16 road tyres and a 3rd set of D1 alloys with a mixture of various tyres on em. gotta put the BFGs on the disco alloys and get rid of the RR alloys.
