I have a spare set of Compomotive PD1881 rims with BFG 265/65/18 KO2's fitted from my D3. This rim is on a ET44. I see adapters can be bought to fit these to a defender.
This is what it might look like when fitted.  Click image to enlarge Running the numbers through a tyre size calculator, the 265/65/18 is 0.3% smaller, so is a pretty close. Has anybody used these types of adapters? http://www.terrafirma4x4store.co.uk/Land_R...ptorsTF305 Thanks John |

I had a set from Rakeway on my old 90, did over 70k miles with them and no problem, you’ll need spigot adapter rings as well to fit D3 wheels.

They look awesome! Certainly look like the Bulldog rims to me. James

I prefer 16's but if I were to go bigger they would be my choice. Great looking wheels.

DO IT!! These are what I wanted but couldn't find a set anywhere! Went with the 18" twisted 5 spokes in the end. 2011 Defender DCPU 2.2 - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic30623.html
