    Rims

    What other cars have the same wheel stud pattern and offset as the series 2a landrovers?

    Can I use most any Land Rover Rim?

    As Andrew says, those will all fit, but they all have different offsets.

    Whether this bothers you for the use you intend is only something you can know.

    I was looking for something not steel, some kind of mag, wouldn't they suit off any of the land rovers you've said?

    I want to get some road tyres on there and keep my 4wd ones for the dirt.

    Not quite true Baz.

    Alloys can jam on the hubs which weren't intended for alloys. There's a slash on the studs indicating if its alloy friendly.

    There there are different centre hole sizes etc etc.

    I've been told FJ Holdens (and therefore the earlier 48-215s) have the same stud pattern. The centre "hole" - for the wheel bearing housing - isn't a worry because it's like the VW beetle, a rounded star shape. Not actually sure, though, if the VW is the same pattern. FJs have a smaller stud, but this is easy fixed with a drill or reamer. They use a narrow 15" tyre. I have no idea about offsets though.

    The D1/Def/RRC alloys wont be able to use centre caps on the IIA, and if free wheeling hubs are fitted, wont fit at all.

    I don't think any Holden wheels are the same, or any other manufacturer except Landrover.

    As stated, Landrover retained the same stud pattern on all models from 1948 to the Disco 2 and P38A, and the Defender remains the same.

    However, the protrusion of the hub was different on the RR, 90/110, Defender and Disco compared to Series Landrovers, and in general, the centre hole or depression in alloy wheels designed for these will not fit Series hubs. In addition, many alloy wheels designed for those vehicles with four wheel disc brakes will not fit drumbraked models.

    To add to what JD said above, from Series 3 and RRC on, they also switched to larger diameter wheel studs. I have never seen alloy nuts for the S1/SII size studs. So if you have a 2A, you will need to upgrade to series 3 hubs (possibly fitted with alloy rim specific? studs) if you want alloys.

    You may also need to machine out the centre hole in the rim.
