alloys onto my 90 tdi dont go....

<< < (2/2)

alwoody:
cheers andy, yep i have the blank studs on front and lined on rear hence easy fitment... guess its the 30mm spacers or finding out for sure re the disco/late 10 spline hubs....  alex

topless matt:
Ive never had a problem with my wheel bearings even with lots of heavy offroad use and towing a 3.5t trailer.
Even towing a 4.5t trailer over the fields to get to harvesters has never caused any issues so i would not be concerned provided you get tuv approved spacers.

Range Rover Blues:
One other option is the aftermarket alloys like the compomotive ones which have a large centre hole like the steelies.

You should not replace all 5 studs on one hub, LR stipulate that is more than 2 have been changed then the hub should be scrapped.  The studs are pressed in.

To fit LR alloys succesfuly you either need the later stubs axles and hubs or spacers.

hi i put spacers on ours when we changed from modulars now have boost alloys with BFG tyres, they look great our defender in a workhorse and does a lot of towing horse trailers and never had a problem!

T30CDB:
Ive had 30mm wheel spacers fitted for four years now with boost alloys and never had any problems towing big trailers. Just make sure they are tuv rated
