Post by: Jim-Willy on June 11, 2008, 18:49:01: Most Landy steels will fit... Rostyles, disco rims, gayspokes etc etc....... I think standard 90/110 rims fit but are narrow like....

Rostyles and 90/110 will be tube type tho'.

For standard-ish tyres try 16x7 modulars, 8 spokes, etc.
OR just pop some Discovery steel/alloy rims on ;)

Daughter has Disco steels with 235/70 x a6 on it fit no issues just need a set of steel wheel nuts new ones about Â£20.00 from Paddocks or someone will have a bucket full !

If you see some nice second hand wheels, comsider that if you remove the tyres your old wheels will weigh in @ Â£10 each ;)
Might ease the cost :D
