Will RRC Alloy Rims bolt onto a Defender 130?

Guys....

Question: Will the old RRC Alloy Rims bolt onto a Defender 130 at all?

I realise that the rims are probably not rated for a 130, but all I'm enquiring is: - Will they bolt onto a 130... and if they do, what would prevent the rims from bolting up? Would having Aftermarket Drive Flanges fitted prevent the rims bolting up ??

They will fit if there are no clearance issues with the flanges or hub casting.

The stud locations are the same and the width and offset are OK, but the problem will be the centres. The RRC half axles do not protrude from the drive flange like the Defender ones do, and I am pretty sure you will have to modify the centre of the wheels to fit them, regardless of the type of drive flanges fitted.

Cheers for that....

Offset is different, RRC and Disco (and most 90 and 110's) use 33mm.
130's use 20.6mm offset. You'll lose steering lock. (once you get the centre issue sorted)
