Expert Buying Guide for 2022 Land Rover Defender 90
For the 2022 Land Rover Defender 90, the 5x120 bolt pattern is shared across 2020–2024 models, ensuring cross-compatibility. The 72.6mm center bore is critical: aftermarket wheels with a larger bore require hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution. Offset is sensitive; the factory 41mm offset maintains suspension geometry and brake clearance. Deviating more than ±5mm may cause rubbing or handling issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct 14x1.5 thread pitch and appropriate seat type (factory uses ball seat; aftermarket may require conical). Improper seating can lead to wheel loosening. Verify lug nut engagement and torque to spec.
