Thread: wheels for stage 1

If your after 7+ inch's you are better off with disco wheels or after market steels

Series 3 rims will fit

Adam

thanks, so does that mean that they have the same stud pattern as a defender?

series 3, def, disco 1 and early rangie are all the same

The Stage 1 is a Series 3 and has the same wheels.

Wheels that fit are :- Series 1,2,3, 90/110/Defender, Rangerover Classic (except some wheels may not fit the protruding centre or the drums), Discovery 1.

Series Land Rovers from 1948 through Stage1 all have the same PCD as the Defender/County/Discovery 1 and Range Rover classic.

You will not find anything standard wider that 7" which were only fitted to the Discovery steelies and Alloys as well as RRc alloys. On a Stage 1 you may find that the positive offset of the Disco 1 rims will foul on the springs when on full lock.

RRc steel rostyle rims, Series forward control and 130 rims are all 6.5" but with a variety of offsets from positive for the late 130 through negative with the late SIIB

For 7.5 or 8 X 16 rims you will have to go after-market.

thanks guys, i wasn't sure that the stud patterns were the same with the salisbury diff. much appreciated.

Did'nt the early series 1, 2, 2a have a different thread size or something to that nature

Wheel studs were 9/16" BSF until very late S2a production, when they went to 16mm which continues until today. But the wheels remain interchangeable, although you may need to make sure the nuts are appropriate for some different wheels.
