Hey, just wanting to find out if land rover discovery rims have any sort of offset, for a wider track? I'm looking at buying a second hand set of alloys for a play set of tyres, and was hoping they might be offset a bit? could i be that lucky?

They're for my rocky but have the same stud pattern.

I didn't think you could mod them. But for some reason I have in my mind that some rims where made with an offset... not sure which though F100 or Rover
And you can get new steelies for about 50ea neway i think.
EDIT: Failing that, how much could you sell 5 stock discovery alloy's for? Cause I'd just buy the set and keep the tyres, flog the rims. They are old skool style, not shiny

i think u'll find the rover studs are alot bigger then F100, jeep, rocky. these may all be 5 stud but rover studs are alot bigger in dia.
make sure you check before purchasing.

NO - 5 on 6.5" - big difference.
New rangies and discos are 5 on 4.5? I think.

Thanks for that.
Well, these are what I WAS looking at, if anyone here wants sum rims, buy em and i'll buy the tyres off u

...or If they stay at $250 i might just get em for the tyres as daily's, then sell the rims for watever i can get.

I WOULD have taken u up on that offer, but just looked and they 16" rims

, and i've got 15", so the tyres wont fit on my current rims... and if i buy new ones rims i want them with offset for offroad use so these tyres would be useless anyway

. Next time i'll read the add properly 1st

The add says they are off a disco, but they arent landy alloys, must be aftermarket. They look like 4 runner rims to me.
