I need a new spare wheel for my 1986 Ninety. Does anyone know whether Discovery steel wheels will fit my vehicle?

I know that the alloys do not fit old Nineties and One-Tens due to clearance issues with the axle end bolts at the front, but does anyone have any experience with steel wheels?

I did a search and found one thread addressing this issue, but there was no definitive answer.

Cheers.

I can't see a reason why they wouldn't fit. I have them on mine

I have a set and the offset is different to my current classic defender steels. Does this not matter?

Thanks for the replies.

Can those of you who said you are using these wheels on your vehicles (Chezvegas, MoorlandBOB) let me know whether you have Defenders or pre-Defender Nineties or One Tens. I just want to be sure given the different axle ends on these vehicles.

Cheers

Steel wheels will fit them all without any problems.

They're good strong wheels, had a set on my 90 until last year. Still got them kicking about somewhere.

Thanks. Will try and find one. They are much easier t' get hold of in NZ than Defender wheels as Defenders are not so common here, and people charge quite a lot for parts for them.

I have the early Disco steel wheels on my 1972 series 3.
I think the pattern of lightning holes in a early Disco steel wheel is different to that of your 90, but both are for tubeless tyres and are the same wheel stud spacings. The reason I now use Disco steel wheels is because they take a tubeless ture. Chris.
