Hello,
I'm in the midst of getting a parts list together for our 110. The end product will be an overland capable DEFENDER 110, that will be able to transport our family of five. It's a 1984 RHD diesel 5 speed. I've decided to keep it RHD. The diesel...Well I haven't decided yet. It only shows 140K on the odometer but is in need of some work.
Right now I'm scouring the different parts websites, in search of a set of 5 wheels. Here's my first question. What size is optimum, when taking things into consideration like tire selection, diameter, load rating, durability, tread, fitment, etc. I'm open to using spacers. Not so much to changing gears in the diffs, at least not at this juncture.
This is the starting point:
This topic may have been covered before, but I wanted to start a build log to be able to find and reference the information.
