I have just bought some 18inch wheels to go on my 1998 Discovery TD5.

Silly me thought they would go straight on......

No.. I need some new wheels nuts

But i don't know what year car the wheels came off or what type of wheel nuts i need ,, can anyone help.

The pic is of the wheels i bought.

Thanks all

The only thing I can offer is the fact that the nuts to suit alloys are very different to the ones used for steel wheels so be very careful what you use!

As many people on here swap wheels around it should not be long before someone with some 'wheel savvy' comes along.

alloy ones have washers that the wheel nut tightens up against rather than the wheel.
if you use normal wheel nuts they wear out the wheel when you tighten them up

Hi, the thread size on the landrovers and rangerovers are all m14 x 1.5. The only difference is the size of the holes in the wheels. It depends on when the wheels were made to what size holes they have. Up to 2002 they are 29mm from 2002-2005 they are 20mm and 2005 on they are 22mm. The best way to be sure is just to measure the holes in the wheels you have. All sizes are available from this advert anyway. Just state the shank size required in the comments box.
Many thanks
