Yes you can, well you can use the OEM Disco steel wheels with ally nuts at least.  The alloy nuts have a taper on them so that a steel wheel could be used as a spare, from the 300 series (soft dash) onwards RRC had a steel spare as a cost-saving measure and I think the disco dod too, not sure whether 200 Discos had a steel or alloy spare.

I prefer the alloys personally as they are the boost deep dish jobbies!

However, the tyres do the job lol
