Im looking at getting rid of my boost alloys and fitting the wolf rims
but most places advertise them as wolf replicas (no thanks )

and i know I need to change the studs for longer ones 60mm again dont really want britpart ones
also would the tyres off my boost alloys fit the wolf wheels as they off a 2014 defender

sorry for all the questions
 
Yes you need longer studs. Britpart ones are fine, its cast metal how wrong can it go, not sure on tyre spec but I would expect so.

www.mod-sales.com for Wolf Wheels, I picked up 4 new ones NOS (New Old Stock) for about £160
 
I wouldn't pee on John Craddock if they were on fire....... they will send out Britpart and then just email back when you complain "read our terms and conditions" which say "part numbers for reference only.

"Part numbers and pictures are used for reference only and may not depict the actual product received."

Here is the same wheel and same code BRITPART
http://www.ribblevalley4x4.com/britpart/BP_ANR4583PMG.html
Note the link :)

or this one
http://bgparts.co.uk/part/land-rover-part-anr4583pmg-wheel-road-2/

Part classification: Genuine part for Land Rover vehicles.
Manufactured by: Land Rover
Supplied by: Britpart

Work that one out.... all clear :)

I assume Britpart now supply Genuine LR Wolf Wheels ?

I just bought a set of 5 used off ebay, guy says they're genuine but I'm unsure also. I've read threads where people say the difference is whether they're tubeless or not but that's irrelevant. Who actually manufactures them?

I hate Britpart parts I have made it clear in previous threads that I would never purchase any Britpart goods again I have in the past but not now.
Anything I need for my vehicle I get from a Land Rover dealer. Yes it costs more but as long as I am happy to pay their asking price that my concern.
That said Britpart are a wholesaler and you can get genuine Land Rover parts which are supplied by Britpart.
So if you are like me go along to your local main dealer and order the Wolf wheels but do not be surprised if they are not the same wheels as supplied by John Craddock's.
 
So you are happy to pay a premium for a britpart item as long as a yuppy in a Land Rover showroom sells it to you?
 
You don't need to fit the longer studs. The military and Land Rover looked into it and the shorter ones are fine as long as they are torqued higher, they found it unnecessary to change them.

Mine came direct from the army with wolf wheels and short studs and they have been fine.

I have genuine wolf wheels if you need me to take reference photos etc.

Beware there are 2 types those suitable for tubeless tyres and ones suitable only for inner tubes

NO, I am happy to pay a premium for a Land rover part in Land rover packaging from a land Rover guy knowing it is a Land Rover part.
I said "do not be surprised to get a Land Rover part supplied from other suppliers in Britpart packaging".

Mate I'll swap my wolf rims for your alloys if you like. They're white with a little rust I can send pics if you're interested?
 
Okay genuine wolf wheels fitted on short studs. You should be able to see all the markings and numbers

And speak to any engineer and its the last threads which hold the weight.. Just FYI I fitted on short studs.... at the front/back they were as per that pic but on the other axle they were recessed even more so I changed to Long.. Which is "standard advice" given by those who sell wolf wheels, and those who fit them.

As stated.... When I fitted mine one axle was considerable less than the pictures in this post, that wasn't safe and needed longer studs. This seems like it is the drum brakes on the rear of earlier vehicles so be careful what you post as a generalisation.

I would have lived with the other one.

Anyone you speak to from Craddocks wouldn't have been an engineer, and Craddocks have also told me things don't exist if they don't have them in stock.

This is regular stud and a wolf wheel, and as you see its level.

Well, lets all start showing our bits! Here's mine;

Standard defender wheel on disco axle, studs same length as original 110 studs. 2 threads proud.

Standard defender wheel on rear drum brake salisbury 110 axle. Flush fit.

130 wheel on front axle. Flush fit.

Looks good to me but I can already see the back is going to be 2 threads shorter and I'm not having that so will be investing in at least 10 longer studs.

Sorry ER1lC but I have to disagree with your statement that asking any engineer will get the reply that "its the last threads which hold the weight".
The use of nuts and bolts vary from plain simple to very complex design challenges which cannot be simplified with the statement that it is the last threads which hold the weight. If that were the case then an engineer designing an aircraft will use many nuts and bolts and with the number used in say a jumbo jet reducing the length to only the last few threads (because it is only they that do the work) would be able to save so much weight that it would make the aircraft more economical to fly. They don't because the statement is incorrect.
