Need more info, is it SWB or LWB? Orginal wheels or later? The original SWB wheels are rather narrow and give a limited trye choice som many now have LWB or 90/110 wheels. A few pics of the wheels will do. As rule it cheaper to buy a set of steel 90/110 / Defender wheels and tyres as they bolt straight on. You can sort out your set later.

The Rostyle ones? Or alloys. Either way do they not look a bit odd?

Rostyle, I didn't know they had a name, until now!

Get some part numbers off the wheels and google them to see what rim width you have and make sure you have 4 the same!
