I do like those ET0 copies.... I passed a 110 in Pewsey yesterday (It's always parked in the same place) which wears them. Think they're going to be the next big mod for mine. Probably with 255/85's again

Does anyone have any recommendations for a supplier of 4no. black wolf wheels with BFG Mud 255/85 16?

Am I right in thinking the Nardo grey 90 has genuine wolf wheels which would have an offset of 20.6 and therefore a more classic look?

I passed this beauty parked up in a local village today and I can confirm it looks stunning! Thumbs Up

Does anyone have experience of these copies?
I have asked the company to provide me with the load ratings for the individual
wheel and am awaiting a reply from them.

I would like to fit 265 BFG’s with the zero offset and before I am castigated for this post, it is just
my personal choice!

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

That’s the combo set up I would like.
Did you have to fit longer wheel studs with those wheels?

It is on my todo list! I have 14-15mm of thread showing, rule of thumb is the thickness of the stud (16mm)

Thanks for that.
Nice looking vehicle.
I will contact them and ask if they are suitable for a 110 as I see they list them
For a 90.

They're exactly the same for a 90 and 110. Darren

Thanks for that.
I will want to switch from alloys to steel rims if and when I need to
But am concerned about the issue with the stud length if longer studs are needed for
The wolf rims.
I think I will purchase a set of the ones mentioned.

I have had 3 x 110s to which I have fitted HD rims and none have needed longer studs. Providing the stud is long enough to fully engage every thread of the nut there is little to be gained by fitting the extended ones. There seems to be some variance in the length of studs used as standard but why not just try it and see first?

Thanks for that, I will check the stud length and see where we go from there 😬

Just to add to that, when Wolf wheels are fitted to Wolf Land Rovers, the studs are 'short', as are 130's from the factory. It's really not a problem. Darren

Apologies for being a bit thick but does the PCD affect the stud length then?
