Changing rim sizes

[jx2mad]

Will 18" alloys off any other Landrover fit an L322 Rangie?

d3, d4 and sport will.

D2 and p38 have different wheel nut holes, and smaller center hub diameters.

Hang on, didn't early L322 (pre MY05) have different wheels to post MY05? D3, D4 and RRS are a match for the later L322? arggg, I will try and dig that up....

Found it...
The main difference between the Late L322 Range Rover (MY06 on) wheels and the Early L322 (2002-2005) wheels is the shape of the wheel nut recess in the wheel.
Early L322 (2002 to 2005) wheels have a square end to the recess and need a square ended wheel nut.
Late Range Rover L322 (2006 on), D3/4 & RRS wheels have a tapered end to the recess and need wheel nuts with a tapered end.

So for you, as I read it, you will also need new wheel nuts. But I've not actually checked this in practice...

Hi,

I'm toying with the idea of trading my 300tdi Defender for an early L322 TD6. There's an SE on carsales.com for 30K!!! can you swap the 18 inch rims for 16 inch? I've searched the threads here and can't find anything.

I know the brakes get in the way of later models and also the Disco 4, but what about the 2002-2005 L322?

Cheers.

Hi

Its very unlikely that 16" will fit L322

L322 rims have an offset of 57mm. D3/D4/RRS rim offset 53mm.

As already stated 02-05 L322's have wheel nuts with square ends.
06 on L322 & D3/D4/ RRS all have tapered nuts

Can swap early & later L322 rims with the right nuts

Thanks for the reply. Was hoping to kit up a comfy Range Rover to do the job of a Defender. I can't live with 18" wheels. Maybe back to the original plan - last of the Disco 2's. Or maybe... a T*&%ta
