Hi all, been lurking on here a while now

Just wanted to double check wheel compatibility on a disco 2

Planning on sourcing some ANR1284 'classic' wheels for it (https://www.cxmdunord.nl/rims-land-rover/), everything I can see seems to line up but wanted to check with some more clued up folk before I commit to them

Also planning on going for some 255/70 tyres which I'm hoping isnt too wide for the rims or stock body?

Sorry of these bits have been covered elsewhere

Cheers
 
For starters, the three spoke wheels fitted to the early Range Rover was NTC1346, later LR did an update of the vehicle and changed the wheels then fitted a ‘Classic’ badge.
None the early RR wheels will fit the D2, without an adaptor... if available.

ANR1284 wheels were fitted to the RR P38 which will fit the D2, just like all those shown in your link, the PCD Pitch Circle Diameter is the important number.
According to my Google search 255 wide tyres are ok with wheels 6.50 inch to 8.0 inch wide.

Thats exactly what I was after, thanks very much for your response

And WELCOME to the Forum.
Opps, It appears that I missed that in your link there’s a 3 spoke wheel call Classic. Nothing to do with a so called Classic Range Rover, I will blame that on looking at forums at the same time as working on a PC. I can’t multi task :)
 
Cheers, in your defence I've been plotting this in the background while I probably should have been concentrating on the work laptop so I can sympathise there!

Visually the NTC1346 and the ANR1284 are pretty much the same too so there's always going to be some confusion - Thinking of getting them powder coated with the silver rim edge in an attempt to satisfy my desire for an old classic with a disco just to top it off

It appeared to be when I had had a small interest in the P38 that only the diesel models had the 3 spoke wheels.
As far as painting goes my favourites were a light grey and polished alloy rim edge, or as now on my disco gunmetal grey with an aluminium painted rim edge, which isn’t as bright as silver.
 
Thats a good point, the less shouty edge would definitely suit better.

Out of interest do you know if the reliability of the P38 is as bad as the critics would have you believe? Everything I've seen and heard on them suggests that youre essentially guaranteed to buy into a world of electrical nightmares if you went down that particular rabbit hole
 
The P38 was LRs first leap in full air suspension plus as much electronic gizmos at that time was possible, after the step into part air and a few gizmos D2 have. Buying new, and other than taking the vehicle back to the main dealer to fix an issue, its not a problem, with an extendable warranty provided by LR to fix the issue, but then down the line there are problems with them, as always as it seems from the various Forums not only LR I look at.

No doubt some P38 owners will have a different option :D
 
Hi, I ran 255/70/16 on my Disco 2 with no problems only rubbed the front arms on full lock, and as you only use it at very low speeds no problems.

Hi Andy, that sounds spot on - are there any bump stops on the D2 which can be wound out to be on the safe side do you know?
 
Hi I would have thought so, But the turn into our drive is very tight from one direction and the standard lock was helpful to be able to get in without shunting which on a narrow contry lane is not the best thing as I said it only lightly rubbed on full lock which is only used at very slow speeds.
 
The steering stops on the D2 only screw to a fixed position and can't be adjusted like a D1 or Defender.
You could perhaps fit washers behind them to reduce rubbing, but I'd not recommend anything that reduces the D2 steering lock any further.
I've actually cut my stops down to allow more lock. The tyres do rub slightly on the radius arms at full lock, but its only scuffing & causes no damage to the tyre as the radius arm is smooth & well radiussed.

Fair enough, I can image having to take multiple attempts just to get into your drive would be a right pain!
