New wheels advice needed

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this, so hello. I’ve got a Discovery 2 1999. It’s a lovely example. Only 80k on the clock and I’ve just had a galv chassis and all new suspension fitted. The new suspension has lifted it a fair bit even though it’s standard height, (but heavy duty). Plus the old springs were shot. Anyway, I’m after some advice regarding the wheels. I’ve still got the original alloy R16 235 70 wheels on but they now look a big small, so I want to get bigger wider wheels/tyres. I’m no expert on this subject at all and have been given lots of confusing info’ with some saying fit spacers and others saying no way because you’ll snap the axle! All I want is some sound advice. I’m thinking of going to modular steel rims as it’s so much cheaper and I think black would look good anyway. I’m also confused with how much offset I need. I’m thinking a would like 18” rims at 10” width with AT tyres. Anybody out there willing to provide some simple sound advice?!

There is a lot of info out there on wheels and tyres. 18x10 modulars for a D2 would look horrible and i doubt you can find any. 245/75 16 looks right on a 2” lift. An offset 25 modular will stick out beyond your arches and throw mud on the body. That’s annoying. A 52 offset standard alloy with a spacer will fit within the arches and give a wider stance. Spacers are like marmite for sone folk, but in reality in my example above are less strain on a bearing than an offset 25 modular. And a -32 modular is twice as bad again. Fit properly with loctite and checked as per instructions, they are fine. I had modulars and thought they looked naff, so went back to original 16” alloys. But others like them.

Many thanks for your advice. Silly question but are you saying to stay with my original alloys and fit spacers? Are my alloys a 52 offset standard? Sorry but I’m a complete novice with wheels and tyres.
Many thanks,
Tim
