90 /110 wheels will they fit range rover classic tell me what mod if reqiured
cheers :?: :)
-
the wheels themselves fit straight on,D'pends on what tyre size you plan on running though
-
ive just tried they wont just go on hub slightly to big :?:
tyres 235/85 r16 120/116 p :?:
-
That's odd :? I've seen them used before and the Defender is basically a rework of Range Rover underpinnings.
But why do you want to use steels? those tyres will fit on the Vogue 3 spokes or Disco steels. I have a set of 5 btw, 3 of them brand new.
-
im running 235 85 16's on standard range rover 3 spokes,but i do have a 2" lift.No rubbing,no arch trimming,just adjustment of the steering lock stops.

Hello there,
I'll agree with the above, why do you want steel wheels on your RRC?
Three spoke alloys are cheap and very plentiful.
Then again it's what ever rocks you boat.
The 110/90 wheels shoud however fit striaght on to the RRC.
I have heard of people filing out a little bit of ally when fitting alloys to differing Land Rover vehicles but never heard of a problem with steels.
My RRC is running on 235/85/16's with Mach5's.
I've a 2" lift and had the wheel arches trimmed to fit fibreglass extensions to the arches.
If there is a definate problem you may try reaming out the bolt-holes by about 1mm, but it depends on how they "wont fit".
Cheers..................

I've got landie forward control rims on mine and have no problems with fitting. For pics check my photos

My wheels came straight off a 90 and had no props fitting my rrc :?
The tyres are 235/85/16s on it i have a 2" lift and only mod i had to make was trimming the front splash guards (across front of rim)

my dad has dicso wheels on his and i have offten seen the disco wheels on defenders and stuff!

Hi iluvmud i have identical wheels to yours but my tyres are coming straight from my 3 spoke vogue alloys..The size of the tyres are 235x70x16..My rangie has air suspension..Would these go straight on without wheel arch mods.. :?
Also i like your snorkel...I want one...
-
235/70 shouldn't catch the arches, mine don't but you do need to check they will fit when the EAS relaxes and hits the bump stops.
-
the only thing thats started to happen is when the car is sat idle for a day or two the n/s drops lower than the o/s and the tyres go up into the arches...
the front goes down first then gradually the rear...thats what worries me about fitting these wheels at the mo..any ideas what it could be..once you start up and drive the EAS works ok..
-
If the tyres are going into the arches check you still have bump stops, they are special to the EAS and cannot be replaced by normal ones.
It shouldn't end up leaning to one side unless there is a problem, the EAS self-levels every few hours when parked, again unbless it's going onto the bumnps and one is missing.
The front end will always be lower than the back, the back goes up first and comes down last. So that the headllights never dazzle, so it's working fine.
-
Oh, one thing with EAS, I've found the dampers being sold as Woodhead or OEM parts are longer than they should be, according to Pro-Comp and I find they are too long for the airbag, it's possible to blow the airbag apart if the damper doesn't stop it's downward movement.

Well i fitted 235 85 16's and when i had air suspension ,they would sit right up in the arches when parked (suspension deflated).They fit,but did rub slightly when at normal ride height.
There ok now i've gone to coils at +2"
-
ok guys thanks for all your help..will check if there is a bump stop gone awol and check air bag condition before i fit the rims.. :D
-
i have a set of series/defender rims on my rangie and a set of 8 spokes on the disco which i had on my old series and they came of 110
so they will fit
-
If you find they rub a little at standard height you can reprogram the EAS to give you a little bit more daylight under the car. I'd also advise dispensing with low profile.

I didnt know that.Some times i wish i still had the air suspension :(

whats the main reason for regretting losing your air suspension buster uk?does having springs make it roll alot more on corners etc or unstable..

Well,i do and i dont regret it.
The springs are cheap and reliable.Better axle travel.(as i regularly use it offroad).I fitted a 2" lift kit with new springs and dampers.
When driving on the road it wallows about more,also the steering self centering isn't very good.Also i had to remove my rear anti roll bar as i kept twisting the links badly.I fitted 2" alloy blocks to the mounts but still twisted the anti roll bar links and damaged them.Got sick of replacing them so i just binned it.
I miss the air suspension because at the touch of a button i could get a 2" lift when off road and it was stable on road and over 56 mph (i think) it lowers it more so its even more stable.I find that anything over 60mph on motorway the car gets blown about and wanders about more,but this maybe because of the 2" lift,not because its on springs.
Also the great thing about the air suspension is you can pile a heavy load in the boot and she levels up nice !
My airbags were shot,so if i had replaced them it would have been ok,but then again i did a 2" lift with dampers for less money than 4 new airbags and because i uses it offroad a lot i wanted the reliability of the coils.
If you dont use it too much off road i would keep the air suspension.
cheers

yeah i had a feeling thats what it would feel like with springs..i like the air suspension in the ways you stated too..i do go off roading once a month..due to this i have just sussed out why it leans on the front corner when stationary......the air bag is in need of changing..so will have to change that first before i change wheels..but think i will stick to eas..for the stability on road more than anything else..
many thanks again

Well you can re-bladder your existing springs cheaper than replacing them, unfortunately the classic springs are more expensive new than the P38 ones. If you have a spare £400 or so you can get a set like mine. I added plus 2" shocks, I can't go any longer because the back shocks are almost fully closed when at access height so longer shocks would get damaged and damage the car too. I still need to space out my rear ARB which is a big thing due to the size of the V8 up front.
I don't drive this one off-road, that's what Blue is for, the LSE is for my caravan. On air it tow really stable, a bit too good if anything. I towed another LSE back from Leicester a month of so ago and when I set off it wasn't loaded quite right and started to weave at 40mph. I couldn't tell :o
I stopped and pumped the trailer tyres up really hard and move the car forewards on the trailer, the LSE likes a lot of noseweight it seems. Started the engine and the back end came up to normal height, made it home without further incident.
I'ma big fan of EAS but look at how much cash I've thrown at it to get it this good and I can fully understand why people go for coils.
