Are they alloys? No they won't, not unless the axles have been changed on the Defender, see the middle hub cap (little black plastic cover, it sits too far out.
I had disco alloys on an 88 defender. Just lose the centre caps. Fronts were a bit tight on the hubs but some 3mm spacers sort that. I had drums on back.

Welcome to The LZ village idiot award. And it is my pleasure to announce that yu are the winner of this months competition!
The worst thing yu can do or suggest someone else does is take a grinder to a wheel and arbitarily grind chunks out of it. If you'd suggested taking em to an engineering company and having em machined to fit. I'd have said good idea. but your idea is the work of a fooking pillock:doh:

As the front hubs stick out more by the thickness of the rear brake drum if that makes sense

i saw a thread the other day where some bloke removed the spring washers from the hub bolts and ground down a bit of the bolt tops think i would rather have 4 mm spacers if i were gonna fit alloys

Your wrong Pikey thats the worst advice Iv seen on here, its this years winner. How stupid can you get any alloy wheel under a Defender limits the capabilty that it was designed for, but each to his own. A trimed to fit with a grinder alloy same as using a lollypop stick for a front axel on a bike.Welcome to The LZ village idiot award.
