Iconisus Double Slot Wheel Kit of 5 Defender L663 18 or 20
This is a kit of five Iconisus forged Double Slot wheels for the Land Rover Defender L663, four for the vehicle and a fifth to match on the rear door carrier. Choose 18 x 9 inches or 20 x 9.5 inches, in all black or in a two tone finish.
Important note on the 18 inch kit. It fits the P300 as supplied. On a P400 the 18 inch wheel clears the front caliper but not the rear, so it fits only alongside our P400 rear caliper conversion kit, part number DEF2RBCK. On the V8 and the OCTA the 18 inch wheel will not clear the front caliper and does not fit at all. If you are running anything other than a P300, the 20 x 9.5 inch kit is the simpler answer, and it fits every L663.
Five is the right number on an L663. The spare hangs on the back door in plain view, so a set of four leaves the one wheel everybody sees still wearing the factory design. Buying the kit means the vehicle matches from every angle, and it costs less per wheel than buying five singles.
Iconisus is a forged wheel maker with a dedicated Land Rover line, and forging is the reason to choose a wheel like this over a cast one. A forged wheel is pressed from a single billet under enormous pressure, which aligns the grain of the alloy rather than leaving the random structure a casting has. The result is a wheel that is both lighter and stronger than a cast wheel of the same design, and lighter wheels are unsprung weight, which is the weight that matters most to how a vehicle rides and steers.
That matters more on an L663 than on most vehicles. It is a heavy machine with a lot of suspension travel, and every pound taken off each corner is a pound the dampers no longer have to control.
The 18 x 9 inch wheel runs a zero offset, written ET0, which pushes the wheel outboard compared with the factory wheels and gives the vehicle a wider, squarer stance.
The 20 x 9.5 inch wheel runs a 25mm (0.98 in) offset, written ET25, and needs no wheel spacers. In this size the wheel is set up for a 275/55/20 or a 305/50/20 tire, which covers both the factory sized replacement and the taller, wider look most owners are after.
All five wheels take your factory wheel nuts and center caps, so nothing extra is required to mount them.

FAQ
Will the 18 inch kit fit my Defender?
As supplied it fits the P300 only. A P400 can run the 18 inch wheel together with our P400 rear caliper conversion kit, part number DEF2RBCK, which clears the rear caliper. The V8 and the OCTA cannot run the 18 inch wheel at all, because it will not clear the front caliper and no caliper kit changes that. The 20 x 9.5 inch kit fits every L663 regardless of engine.
How many wheels are in the kit?
Five. Four for the vehicle and a fifth to match the spare on the rear door carrier. Single wheels are sold separately if you need a different quantity.
What tire size does the 20 inch take?
The 20 x 9.5 inch wheel is set up for a 275/55/20 or a 305/50/20 tire, and no wheel spacers are needed.
