Looking for offroad tires / rims for my V8 110
Hello everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my 2023 Land Rover Defender 110 V8 for a mixed-use case (80% daily driving / 20% serious driving in sand dunes). I need to drop to 20-inch wheels to increase sidewall for sand, but I'm running into an inventory wall. I asked Gemini and got a couple of directions.
The Current Situation & Problem
- Vehicle: 2023 Defender 110 V8 (Confirmed 20-inch minimum wheels required due to large Brembo brakes).
- Goal: Find a strong, street-legal 20-inch wheel with excellent bead retention for airing down to 10–12 PSI in soft sand.
- The Problem: I cannot find a single online retailer that lists the Method MR703 or MR701 in the correct 20-inch, 5x120 configuration. The official Method filter only shows the MR701, but the 20-inch size is not visible in the drop-down menu. Does this even exist?
My Question to the Community
- Does anyone have a definitive link, part number, or global retailer that sells the Method MR703 or MR701 in 20x9 with the 5x120 bolt pattern? Any recommendations on other wheels or rims for my context?
- Has anyone successfully installed the MR703 20x9 on a Defender V8? Did you have to call Method directly?
Tire Strategy I Have in Mind
I plan to run a 275/55R20 tire size for the best compromise between sand flotation (width) and daily comfort (no rubbing), thinking of going with the Falken Wildpeak AT3W, any feedback?
Thank you!
