They will if they are early Boost style wheels. This picture is the originals off my 2000 TD5:

Then I purchased 5 near new wheels from a member on here from a 2012 Defender & the castings have changed slightly & don't allow fitment of the centre caps. I will swap the tyres over one day but for the moment run centre capless!

I have the same issue currently on my 2008 Defender with the same Boost Alloys.

In about a week i am going to remove the maxi cap and shave off enough steel from the threaded side to allow the standard Boost cap to fit back over the top and lock into place.

Keath, That is a good idea. The 4 road tyres on the original boost, are nearly worn out Cooper AT's, whilst the spare is a never used 2000 BFG - with cracked sidewalls. So I'm going to bite the bullet & put 5 new tyres on the original rims & then swap them over again. With the new 90" arriving in October I may use the newer set for going around Australia & keep the nice new wolf steel set as a nice new set. Does that make sense?
