Yeah I’m really torn, the black wheels with white lettering look really good when they are clean but the white is a bit different. Maybe if my tyres were all black I’d go with white.
Thanks for your videos! My 1997 (v8 to 300tdi, auto to manual )is just back on the road… still some finishing, but running and driving!! I’m looking forward to starting adding some of the fun stuff soon.
Great video, answered lots of questions, You didn't mention your arches, did you cut them, and did you need to to fit the tyres? ...and paint than wheel black man!
Hi! Nice rig, i have a 98 300tdi, currently on BfGiodrich All Terrain 235/70/16 (i'm going for a set of Khumo At51 245/70/16), but i want to know ¿Are you on stock gearing? A friend wants to put 265/75/16 on his 300tdi and we don't know if it's too much with the stock gear relation. Greetings from Argentina!
Hi, thank you! Yes still stock gearing on my disco. I have 265/75/16 and no issues with the gearing, you do have to use your gears a bit more with the taller tyres. I had 245/70/16 when I first bought the car I think standard was 235/70/16
Looks awesome! So are you still running the 30mil spacers? And where did you get your wheels? I'm having a bitch of a time trying to find 16x8 negative offset steel wheels that will fit the Disco 2 here in the states...
I like the white wheel! Gives some contrast

Thanks Nathan! Good luck with the mods 👍
Rocking the same Tires on my white '96 Disco 2" lift, stock wheels white out :P Thinking of adding 10mil spacers/shims to stance a little more.
I do think they look better when they fill the arches
Great video, answered lots of questions, You didn't mention your arches, did you cut them, and did you need to to fit the tyres? ...and paint than wheel black man!
Thanks Fred! Yeah the wheel is going back black haha. Yeah the arches were cut to allow larger tyres.
Good video buddy! What are dimensions of rims! 7x16, 8x16 or other? Tnx! 🤙🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, I think they are 8x16 but I’m not 100% sure I know they give an offset of about -35mm
Sorry if I missed this, but did you do any trimming to fit the tire? Thanks!
Yes there was a slight trim on the arches around 1-2inches removed then covered with the flares

@@TheNorthernExplorer Thank you so much!
@@silver.d1 not a problem, thank you for watching and commenting
What size flares do you have?
Hi Dan, I’m not too sure I bought them
Off eBay a few years back. I’ll measure them and let you know

Thanks Sean, no I’ve just got the -35 wheels. Have you thought about shipping over from the uk or is it a fortune to ship?
@The Northern Explorer I'd ship from UK. Do you have a recommendation for which supplier? Thanks a ton.
I use paddockspares.com or jgs4x4.co.uk
