Yeah. I've looked at a lot of tyre size charts online and they're saying 10" minimum rim width for a 285... But we all know that's not true. As blackwolf says below

blackwolf wrote:
Genuine "Wolf" rims are only available in 6.5 width and have a 20.6 mm offset. The only choices with genuine rims are tubeless (ANR4583) or tube type (ANR5593).

There is much info online from tyre manufacturers and others concerning the matching of tyres to rims, and in my opinion most of it can be taken with a pinch of salt. For example, there are hundreds, possibly thousands, of people running 285s on Boosts (7") without any problems (even though this is perhaps controversial) , and Landrover themselves factory fit 235/85s on Boost alloys, which, according to the data you have posted, would be disallowed.

There must be a lot of "slammed and rimmed" kiddicars that don't conform too!

Has anybody got a picture of a dark green Defender on black wolfs? I’m pretty certain that’s the route I want to go just trying to make up my mind. Thanks

Ah yes, so there is. I think I'm going to have to go with black Wolfs. I think White or Limestone would look good but only if I had a matching roof but I don't fancy having the roof resprayed yet.

Green 110 with black wolfs as requested. They’re 0 offset though.

Sorry for no fancy clean car pictures. We’ve been that busy over the last month the poor girls not been washed.

That's a seriously twisted bumper! How did that happen?

Edit: just seen your post in the other thread which answers my question.

I dredged the ditch at the back of me and the trailer sank with the weight. I couldn’t pull it out so in my haste the wife tried to pull me out with the discovery and it pulled the bumper out like that.
My fault as I should of winched it out. I was just rushing and thought it would be quicker to just pull it

An annoying experience. Less haste more speed comes to mind. We've all experienced shortcuts going badly wrong. Defender 90XS SW

Fantastic guys, thank you. Next decision now is 0 or standard 20 off set. I assume the 0 offset is achieved by it having a deeper dish?

Those 0 offset wolf-a-likes look brilliant. Definately on my shopping list now.

A bit confused with wheel spec. I have been told that the wolf wheel is rated at 2000kg but the Terrafirma ‘wolfs’ are only 1500kg
Is this correct? 80" 1948
Lightweight V8
Bowler Tomcat
130 Station wagon
90 300tdi

Yes, but for context the standard Boost alloy is around 1100. Darren
