JST Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 As fitted to the XS Defender range, does anyone know if they will fit a drum braked rear def axle? i know the LR freestyle ones wont as they go in from the hub (spokes do) but these seem to come out flatter, so i dont think would catch on the drums anyone know?

western Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 not 100% sure but it's the outer diameter of the hub drive flange that might prevent them from fitting, the plastic end cap will definitly stick through the centre though.

BogMonster Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 It is the drive flange that catches on alloys, not the drum. I guess you could fit the later thin type flanges and halfshafts if you can get a halfshaft to match whatever diff is in the vehicle (may be 10 spline one) and this should allow the wheels to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 there is a website with a description of how to shave some material off the drive flanges to allow alloys to fit rear drum braked 90/110's, thing is I can't remember the sites url.

Porny Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 This website: http://www.web-rover.co.uk/nav.php?p=articles/alloys The other option is to run a set of wheel spacers - ideally steel hub-centric ones, not the plain flat ones. This will allow the wheel centre to clear the centre of the hub. Also look better IMHO as the off set of boost alloy isn't that much.

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 No they don't They almost look as though they will, and you can sort of get it on and do the nuts up but the wheel is being forced against the alloy wheel and often then shatters, so NO is your answer sdorry to say Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael calvert Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Cheers Ian, thats it i counter sunk my first 90's drive flanges with alan bolts that did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 My friend runs a set of these alloys on his drum rear 110, the backs of the wheels have been seriously shaved by the previous owner. Depends how much you want them, seems like a good excuse to go rear disc though. Also as someone else said - they really dont have much offset.

JST Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 cheers for all the replies. Not sure i would want be shaving down the drive members though. i dare say changing the drive members for the later flatter head may help a little althouigh dia will still be too great - rangie rear disk axle then i guess.

It shouldn't be too wide - the later drive members are what is on current model vehicles and alloys fit on those with no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
