Classic RR wheels onto Disco 1???

[Caractacus]

Hi all,

A friend of mine has bought some RR Classic wheels (RTC 9526) and he's wondering if they fit his MK1 three door Disco.

Also, what nuts would be req'd?

Thanks for any info/assistance.

Cheers,

C.

yes they should fit. You'll need the wheel nuts for alloys not steels.

Thanks for that. I'll let him know (my builder).

He bought a set of 5 off fleabay, with tyres - 205/80/R16 Khumo Venture MT. They seem a tad too narrow for the 7" rim, but I suppose they'll be better than the mixed bunch of tyres on his Disco 1 currently.

Nice looking alloys, actually, and at £240 ish iirc, not a bad price.

I have a set of Disco alloys on winter tyres that I put on my Classic each winter.

That was the standard size tyres on the early Disco steel wheels which are 7" rims. But yes they do look a little stretched! I have a set of Disco alloys sitting in the back garden with 205's on. 225/75R16 looks much nicer!

Have you put them on yet? Just wondered as I had mine made up this week (disco alloys and Pirelli Scorpion winters) with every intention of putting them on but it just isn't cold enough!

I normally fit them when the weather gets to the point that the last thing you want to do is faff around with changing wheels.

This year I am in no rush. The Overfinch has sold and the 72 is in storage awaiting work so the only boots I'll be putting on this winter will be the Dubarrys

I'm after a set of RRC Wheels if anyone knows of any around.

I have a couple of sets of Vouge SE alloys if you're interested.
