I've been looking for a set of wheels/tyres for off roading my disco.. and might have come across just the things.. But I'm not sure if they will fit.
they are steel wheels off and early defender with 7.50's.

My disco is lifted 2" so from what I've been told I should only need to trim the arches for the tyres to fit.. it's just the wheel fitment and offset that I'm not sure about.

Any advice will be appreciated.

They.ll fit.

I,ve got an old set on my D1 with 7.50 x 16 tyres.

You may need to cut the rear arch and wind out the steering stops.

the rear arch mod is known as a camel cut, as its what the camel trophy discos had done to them to fit 7.50R16 tyres
