the old steel type? rostyles i think they were called
basically, NO
you have to either cut material off the wheel, or hammer it out
both of which can undermine the structural integrity of the wheel.

aah the alloys?
also, no, youd have to cut some material out of the wheel to clear the 6 bolt series drive flanges

Disco I steel wheels go straight on, but the std studs are a bit short, bit like with Wolf wheels.

I have seen the 3 spokes fitted to a SIII.

Also, I have 4 Disco rims, 2 are brand new, up for sale.

That series probably had rangie axels. a rangie wheel will not fit on a series axle (properly at least), no matter how big a hammer you have.

IIRC though RRC axles are longer than SIII ?

they are, but you can buy wheel arch extensions, and a bit of modification is needed, but it is a fairly common swap

No it's just I'm sure the one I saw wasn't any wider than a standard SIII that's all.

Trying to remeber where I saw it, somewhere near Wath IIRC.

I had a set of 8 spoke steel rims on my series111,  with 31.10.5x15 Greenway macho's on rear and the same size Kuhmo's on front.
When i got rid of series i got a R/R classic and guess what they fitted just had to take the  plastic  front valance off also had to adjust wing with a small hammer 2lb'er .
Oh did i mention they are brand new and up for sale .
