Defender 2019 on Wheels
Modern Defender wheels combine strength with sophisticated design to handle extreme loads and challenging terrain whilst maintaining on-road refinement. Available in various sizes and styles, these wheels must meet precise specifications for load rating, offset, and electronic system integration to ensure safe operation and optimal performance.
Wheel Specifications and Requirements
L663 wheels use specific offset and load ratings matched to suspension geometry and electronic systems. Tire pressure monitoring sensors integrate with wheel assemblies, requiring compatible wheels and proper sensor programming. Braking systems require adequate wheel clearance for proper cooling and maintenance access.
Wheel materials range from steel for extreme durability to lightweight alloys that improve handling and fuel economy. Load ratings must match vehicle specifications, particularly important for towing applications where wheel strength becomes critical for safety.
