I've recently bought a 110 CSW 200tdi.
It has mud terrain tyres on modular steel wheels, which really look the part, but above 50mph you can no longer hear the engine, and I'm sure they are not improving the fuel economy either!
I want to fit BF Goodrich ATs, as the majority of my driving will be motorway rather than mud, but my pocket does not run to a new set, at least, not all at once.
I have seen a used set for a reasonable price, on Freestyle alloy wheels from a Disco 1.
I understand that the Disco wheels should be a straight swap onto my 110, and that I will need the appropriate alloy wheel nuts.
Is there anything else I need to consider?
I did a quick search around LZ and saw comments about possibly needing longer studs, and even questions about the load rating of the wheels (how would I discover that?)
I've had a Defender for many years, but I'm a complete newbie with regard to this.
Advice please?
