Hi everyone,

First Land Rover I have owned, so forgive me for my lack of knowledge. I am wanting to upgrade to sawtooth alloys. I read something before about the newer alloys not fitting over the rear drum brakes; however, I believe my defender 110 has been upgraded to callipers. Pictures are attached, are the alloy fitments still the same? And will they fit over the current brake set up? (Photo of brakes is rear left)

Many thanks
Hugo

If it’s disc brakes on rear they will fit

Are they correctly rated for the weight of a 110?

They'll be good. Are you getting genuine sawtooth or a replica, if so check the weight rating

Genuine... however, you raise a good point. How can I ensure they are genuine and not replicas?

Mine were replicas from 4x4 tyres but they have a load rating of 1350 so are ok
I know there are some sawtooth styles out there that are rated at 1000. I guess it is stamped on the inside somewhere..

First off welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy your Land Rover.
Secondly, if you're taking a wheel off its best to sit the axle on an axle stand and it's essential to chock the remaining wheels, either side, so it can't roll back or forward.
