for a decent price and for stock castor alloys for disco1? thanks i advance...also i am planning on getting 235 85 16 tires and i am hoping that the spacers will give me a wider stance...will this effect the stuffing capability..

jmon You can find them at Rovertym & Rover Accessories. $$$$ you can buy a set of Steel rims with a diff backspacing for the same cost of spacers. Just a thought

Hey Guys,

Robert Mann, I was encouraged to see the prices on Performance Wheel's page. I Contacted them by phone only to be disappointed. They do not make them for any Land Rovers. Their reasoning is that they need to be machined so precisely for what they called our "Hub Centric" mounting that they didn't feel they could reliably produce spacers that would not create vibrations. So out the door went the idea of $60/piece wheel spacers. Our options look to be back to RoverTym or Rover Accessories at $500 a set!! Which brings me to wonder, are the RoverTym or Rover Accessories spacers okay to use, or are we risking long term damage to wheel bearings, etc?? John?

Are you kidding!?! From what I've seen, new wheels are much less than the cost of wheel spacers. Who says that Black powder coat wheels are ugly? Take your stock wheels off road a lot and you'll see what ugly is real quickly. Stock wheels...that's what I have on my rig and they are torn to pieces. If I could make up my mind on what size tire to get, I would have new wheels in a heart beat.

Offset steel wheels available from Rover Accessories for only $75 a pop in various colors -- much stronger and cheaper than spacers on alloys. They even look better than those wimpy, mall crawlin' alloys.
