Thread: A PARTICULAR Disco wheel onto Defender

Don't really know, but thats never stopped me before..!

It should fit I believe, I think it would be ok on defender load wise unless it's a 130.

Rating wise, I'm not sure that they meet the rating for a 110.... but again not 100% sure

Load rating is often on the back of the rim.
Assuming it’s ok, they’ll fit.

Vaguely off the top off my head...

*Yes they will fit
*Older D1 & Defender wheel will fit last model TDCi (puma).
*last model TDCi (puma) & TD5 alloy wheels (boost) wont fit older D1 & Defender 110.

*At some point the Defender hub assemblies went metric and are smaller, the later alloy (boost wheels are the same deal)

P.S if you were asking what I think of the look? then its a big thumbs down. I assume your puma already has wheels on it, steel or alloy both look better than the D1 alloys

Oh and they will be a ugly 16 x 7

I have fitted D1 wheels to a plenty of Defenders and 110 but the steelies.

That wheel is an aftermarket alloy. The local Bob Jane sold them so I would imagine other retailers sold them too.
A few went on local LRs until the factory alloys became common in the mid '90s.

Yes it's an ugly wheel, I don't like these styles that have a directional type pattern.
There is an OEM wheel like that which came in gray that is the ugliest wheel ever fitted to a landy.

Does the centre part of the hub, the axle drive plate and dust cover fit behind those alloys? I've got no idea but I thought I'd heard there were some issues there? Or was it the (some?) Maxidrive parts that dont fit?
