Wolf wheels fit series??
Porny:
Hrmm...
I admit, not ideal... but I ran my Series 3 for quite a while with Wolf rims without a problem...
Its the same if you run Disco steel or Wolf rims on a Series or an early 90/110... as the studs are not long enough. This only changes on a 130" or on a later Disco/Defender which have longer studs as standard (ones with the slash on the end)
As long as the wheel is done up to the correct torque then you should not have any problems - just regually check your nuts :wink: ....
Although, in the longer term you should really get a set of longer studs.
But as mentioned... I never had any problems..
People only notice because the wheel nut is on open ended type, and not a close/blind one - like an alloy wheel nut. If you cut the end off a standard Land Rover alloy wheel nut, you will find that the stud does not protrude past the end of the nut... so is same as what you are doing.
(Although an axle suitable for alloy wheels will have longer studs).

Hi all, I didn't think my post would cause such a debate?! I have found a company that do extra long wheel studs for Land Rover, emailed them and just waiting for a reply on how much they cost!! Here's the link

£115.74 for a set of 20 inc of V.A.T and carriage.
ian_s:
you can nearly get a decent set of rims for that!

Series went straight through MOT with the wheels as is?! Also no wheel nuts lost or loosened during london to brighton run?!
