Freestyele alloys
topless matt:
My dads have no spacers on them as standard from land rover!!!! so hope they arnt loose :? :-.
What age is your defender? You may still need the spacers to clear the hubs, bearing in mind that boosts have a fair bit more offset then freestyles do
topless matt:
Sorry, my internet cut off and sent only half the message.
As there is more off set you may need wider arches when used with spacers.
I know that my dads boosts have a similar offset to my freestyles on spacers :?

No, no spacers.
Although they'd help to gain a few feet off a 110s 'super-tanker' turning circle
andyhubbard:
Thanks for that - think i'll give it ago.

BTM, isn't yours a 300?
Andy, I'm pretty sure you can't fit standard alloys to a 200 Defender as th ehubs are differnet, it's only slight but without modification the alloys don't sit properly against the flange. Cherck the ends of the studs, if they have a triangle or slot stamped in them they are for use with alloys, if not then allosy don't fit.
I've heard you can grind a tiny bit off the inside of the wheels, I've heard you can remove the spring washers from under the bolts holding the drive memebers in place, I've never tried either.
If you need any axle parts let me know, somewhere I've got a whole load of bits with new bearings in them.
