No, the PCD (pitch circle diameter) is the dimension that determines the locations of the holes in the wheel.

Should have added.
The raptor wolf style are zero offset whilst the Tuuf Torque wolf style is 5/165.
Would the differences also affect the turning circle?

No problem. The offset is the distance of the centreline of the wheel relative to the hub. The larger the number, the further inboard the wheel will be and visa versa.

Standard LR alloys have an offset of 33mm.

Wolf wheels and direct copies have an offset of 20.6mm but because they're only 6.5" wide rather than 7" for alloys, they're not directly comparable without a bit of maths. From memory when I changed mine, the outside of the wheel ended up 6mm further out than the original alloys.

Wolf wheels with zero offset will be 20.6mm further out than standard ones and about 27mm further out than standard alloys.

Wheels being further out can help with a reduced turning circle if the steering stops are adjusted to take advantage of the extra clearance. Darren

Thanks for that, very clear explanation,I just wasn’t that sure.
As an aside, I see 4x4 ovelander are doing and 8” steel wheel with a zero offset.
Obviously a different wheel but still interesting to see.

So Astroarcadia, what size of tyres are on your wheels, they look a right nice combo

That looks great with the white roof. Blue and white is one of the best combinations IMHO. Darren

Sweden 2009 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Santorini Black

Click image to enlarge

Hi!
I just got my first Defender - 110 CrewCab 2008. Since the previous owner just slammed on whatever
he could purchase cheap it doesn’t have a cohesive look in my opinion....and I started to strip down the “additions”.

I am planning for a dark grey hood, a full black checker plate kit and single steps.... but most of all I want those Wolf wheels on!! Unfortunately I am divided when it comes to the colour.... either white or matching santorini black...
I couldn’t find any ref pics in the thread of Black 110dcpu with white roof & white Wolfs...
Has anybody got a pic??

White because of the roof.
