Thread: Boost Alloys

Ok, should have done my homework first. Have done quite a bit of searching and I think I have found my answer. Not the one I was hoping for.

There may be a slight clearance issue but they will fit .

They should, but on my 2002 they pushed out the centre plastic cap a fraction. You can sand or grind the inside of the cap down that few mm to make it flush.

Thanks loanrangie and frantic. From what I understand unfortunately as my Defender is fitted with the larger type steel Maxi Drive flanges on the back wheels, these will not apparently fit through the centre hole unless I grind the Maxi's down or have the hole made larger. Also for the front wheels to fit I need to remove the plastic caps on the Boost Alloys and have the Landy dust caps protruding through which makes the Boost's look incomplete. It appears spacers will be needed all round as well. I believe this is also the case with the rear carrier, as with my old style 300 series/county wheel bracket the wiper will fowl on the tyre unless spacers are also fitted. Not being a fan of spacers due to unnecessary weight stress, I am really disappointed with the outcome of my homework as Boost Alloys would look really great on my Landy.

Happy to measure a boost wheel for you .

My wheel carrier has nuts on the studs that you wind out to get the clearance for the rear windscreen wiper arm.
