bernie Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 They will fit but you need a 27mm socket for the nuts, but you will need rangerover wheel nuts, as these nuts are deeper which are shaped to fit the wheels, Standard lr wheel nuts will not hold the wheel securely.

western Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 don't fit RRC wheels to a 110, they are not rated or approved alternative wheels, only the deep dish or boost alloys are for 110's, plus the RRC wheels ill not fit over the hub driving member.

jasonf Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 hi ralph thanks for the reply, as in rated do you mean speed or weight loading also i trial fitted one it was a bit snug but did go on the hub but the centre cap on the wheel cannot be used as the end of the hub forced it out thanks jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snagger Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 i trial fitted one it was a bit snug but did go on the hub but the centre cap on the wheel cannot be used as the end of the hub forced it out be careful - the wheels do not fit without a little alteration if you have a drum braked Salisbury axle and a front axle with similar hubs - the wheel feels like it fits, but you will see a 3-4mm gap between the wheel and hub mating faces caused by the bevel inside the wheel being closer to the mating face than the bevel on the hubs (near the drive flange gasket). Your options are careful grinding of the hubs, or of the wheels or 4mm spacers with longer (Wolf) studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
