Thread: RR Sport wheels - Will they fit a P38?

    RR Sport wheels - Will they fit a P38?

    I have the opportunity to buy a set of 18'' RR sport alloy wheels & tyres but I cant find out from anyone who actually knows ( as distinct from "thinking so" ) whether the RR sport wheel will fit onto a 2000 P38 hub?

    Can anyone give a definitive answer?

    The PCD is the same, but the wheel nuts are different and the centralising hub is also different.

    To make them fit you will need to buy a centralising ring off ebay and use the wheel nuts that suit the RRS rims. The offset is also slightly different.

    This fitment I believe also works for the current Rangie rims and the D3 rims if fitting to the Disco2 and P38 Rangie.

    BTW, I have not done this. It is what I have turned up in my research.
    Cheers

    Another option, BMW X3 or X5 wheels fit, but again they are a different offset and require BMW nuts.

    I concur with Slunnie, but also have never done it.

    Have seen 3 P38's in the w/shop running RRSport 19's(from a TDV8). Havent looked at what was fitted to make them fit if needed.
    But you will have to buy 20 wheel nuts from a D3/Sport thats for sure.

    Thanks Everyone for really quick responses. Guess I will have to put some more thought into it.

    Thanks again

    I have done this.(18" RRS rims and Contis onto a P38a)
    I sourced the wheel nuts and adaptor rings from a company in USA called Eurotech Wheels. My contact was Alex (email: PieCorpEmail@aol.com.)

    The cost was $100-00 AUD for 20 Lugs (their term not mine ) (at that time the OE wheel nuts were nearly $30-00ea. )and 4 rings.
    I also paid $75-00 for airfreight and had them in a few days. The Australian Dollar exchange rate was about 73c. ( a while ago )

    They were very concerned that the RRS wheels were genuine and required part and serial numbers from the rims before shipping the goods.

    Tips: Loctite the rings to the rims otherwise they weld to the hubs and the spare will not fit. You need to carry a spanner to suit the new nuts and also a set of 5 of the old nuts and the old spanner so that the spare can be fitted if needed.
    Hope this helps.
    I found their address:
    EuroTech Wheels
    6350 Nancy Ridge Road #104
    San Diego CA 92121-3211
