Hi, i have started off road and managed to get some old steel wheels off a defender 205 16" my disco has 235 alloys just now. Can anyone tell me if 205 wide tyres will be ok for off road disco? i have found some decent mud tyres for these rims just not sure to get them or not, thanks for help

you can run 235's on a disco, in fact some models have 235's as standard but if you are trialing you may want to change the wheels too. The simple steel wheels available have a geater offset than landrover wheels and give little more lock. The ALRC rules allow up to 4" offset, standard wheels are about 3"

My Disco (1997 Tdi) has 205/80x16s on its original standard steel wheels. I think the alloys had 235/70x16s as standard. Mine has road-biaised Pirelli Scorpion S/T tyres but any full profile 205 tyre should be fine on the steel rims - I think Defender rims are a straight fit on a Disco 1.

Ok so how wide would (7", 8", 10") a steel wheel need to be to take a 235/75R16?

235s are fine on the standard 7" rim.
235/70/16 is OK on a Disco without modification, but not sure about 235/75s.

When I bought my trials tyres they fitted 235/85/16 by mistake. (I ordered 235/70/16) they looked huge. I cant imagine fitting taller than 70 without some trimming although the 235 width is a standard size
