How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
SUVs carry more curb weight higher off the ground, so wheel strength and rotational mass both matter more than on a comparable sedan — a heavier wheel amplifies body roll and slows steering response exactly where the platform is already working hardest. Forging keeps the wheel light without giving up the load rating the factory suspension geometry was tuned around.
The Land Rover Defender V8 90 runs a 5x120 bolt pattern, 72.6mm center bore, and a 22x9J at ET41, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 22x10J ET30, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Land Rover Defender V8 90. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 23x10.5J ET25 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Land Rover Defender V8 90 OE Wheel Specs
The 2022 Land Rover Defender V8 90 (SUV) uses a 5x120 bolt pattern with a 72.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 22x9J at ET41.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports the vehicle's curb weight and load capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for everyday and light off-road use
- Balances ride comfort with cargo and passenger stability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension travel and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Land Rover Defender V8 90 (2022) we drill the 5x120 pattern and cut the centre bore to 72.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, 22x10J ET30 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Land Rover Defender V8 90.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
23x10.5J ET25 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.
Real-World Fitment Notes
Chassis: Factory V8 sport tuning; lowering links or lift available. Brakes: V8 caliper clearance needed. Tires: 275/45 R22.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 22x9J ET41 → ~6.61″ backspacing
- Flush: 22x10J ET30 → ~6.68″ backspacing
- Max: 23x10.5J ET25 → ~6.73″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Land Rover spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Land Rover Defender V8 90? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Land Rover Defender V8 90 (5x120, 72.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 338 other vehicle entries from 10 makes use exactly the same 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x120 is used by 10.3% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (670 of 6,503); 50.6% of those also use a 72.6 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 72.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 72.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 76.1 mm | 76.1 → 72.6 mm |
| 78.1 mm | 78.1 → 72.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 72.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Land Rover Defender V8 90 use?
The 2022 Land Rover Defender V8 90 uses a 5x120 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Land Rover Defender V8 90 use?
The Land Rover Defender V8 90 uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x120), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Land Rover Defender V8 90?
The Land Rover Defender V8 90's center bore is 72.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Land Rover Defender V8 90?
Factory wheels on the Land Rover Defender V8 90 are 22x9J at ET41.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Land Rover Defender V8 90 without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 23x10.5J at ET25 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Land Rover Defender V8 90?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 22x10J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Land Rover Defender V8 90.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Land Rover Defender V8 90?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Land Rover Defender V8 90?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.68" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Land Rover Defender V8 90?
The Land Rover Defender V8 90 runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
