18" rims and 285/65 tires..
Hi guys, first post i did use the search function but so many came up regarding my question and none actually answered it (that i looked at)


A friend has a 110 that has been fairly kitted out, all the twisted bits, lights big roof rack the lot, the bit that interest's me the most was the wheel tire combo

Guess<< the rim is a twisted one and the tires are 285/65r18 all terrain's.

he told me no lift's or anything are necessary and the tire wheel combo will bolt straight on, i emailed twisted performance too a week ago with no reply yet, supposedly they are at a show..

this is the back of his defender with a tire and wheel, my question is, can i simply take off my current wheels off of my 90 and replace with these?

cheers for any help (if anyone has any links to sites i can buy them would be appreciated)

I mean, no...... The wheel nuts are VERY girly, so you have to have a full set of new....

Your standard nuts will be too big.

My tyres came from 4x4 tyres, and wheels came from Devon 4x4 at the time. But wheels now only available from Twisted Performance and are now very pricey as I was quoted by Twisted recently for 5 wheels about £1428 inc vat, delivery, wheel nuts, centre caps and locking wheel nuts!...(no tyres)


Big Hop had a set of these wheels and tyres for sale in the For Sale section but has probably sold them by now. It was under the heading: Defender Parts For Sale, I think as I remember looking at his ad.

So they are the exact tires in the pictures? (well not too bothered about compounds- if they change) will looks width height etc all be the same?

Might be able to get 4x 285's at £150 a piece tomorrow..
