The Rover-Landers of BC

Hi Clinton,

Do you have standard 88 wheels right now, or wheels from a 109 or defender? the 88 wheels are pretty inset already. Is this not enough, or do you need to go further in?

Dave

You should be OK with standard 88 wheels.

At ECR, don't they use 109 wheels on their coil sprung conversions? :?

I'm using Disco rims, with 90/110 flares and the tires do stick out about an inch beyond the body panels.
BUT, the landy is stable on the road, the extra width in track does make a difference.

Cheers,
Todd.

Try Rimex (http://www.rimex.com/custom/canada.html). We have used them before for custom industrial wheels. Not sure if they deal with small stuff. Any decent wheel fabricator can remove the centers on your existing wheels and revise the offset to your specs. Anyway, they can probably tell you who to contact in the lower mainland that will do the work.

A quick check of the phone book shows these guys also: http://www.canadianwheel.com/

I just drove by Canadian Wheel yesterday and was going to mention them to you. Looks like Red90 got to it first.

They are in Port Kells, about a kilometer or two away from the freeway at the 200th st. exit.

What have you got right now?

16" 109s? Defender stock rims? This is a pretty popular conversion for 88 owners as it increases their width about 2 - 3" and allows them to turn tighter.

Bet you'd find putting an ad in the for sale or wanted section would get you someone willing to trade straight across...

Clinton,

I had a post on another forum and I got this link, which gives you the specific offset dimensions for all of Land Rover's steel wheels.

Land Rover Wheel Offset Specifications


I also checked ECR site, it was interesting to find that they DO have "coil conversion offset wheels" for our Land Rover's. Did you send them an e-mail , asking the specific offset dimension ? It would be interesting to know. ;)

Cheers,
Todd.
