Disco rims on a Series with Discs?

[ScottT]

Will these fit a Series truck with discs on all 4 corners?
What about lugs nuts, can the steel be used?

no, disco 2 rims have a different pattern. Better question is why?

I don't know of any factory alloy that will allow you to use locking hubs.

True, but locking hubs were only an option; but even w/ the drum brakes, they won't fit, not w/o modification (and then, only the 5x6.5 bolt pattern, not the smaller D2/etc pattern).

On the other hand, I know for a fact that Discovery I steel wheels fit Series with front sic brakes.

i own a 69 88" and a 96 disco..let me tell ya get any steel rim..the alloy disco wheels just "fail" in every way..they atleast in maine ..rust..or rust and corrode..or rust corrode and sieze to the hubs..or maybe they'll just corrode between the bead and rubber and slowly leak..they look sexy but..just dont cut it where i live..it just seemed to be a hassle..and i'm not sure but i think they'r weaker aswell..i'd go any steel rim thats well known..the spare that came with mine"disco" fits all 4 corners of my series"drum brakes"..i tend to drive my series as my everyday ride..when i had the alloys and used the disco..it always seemed i had atleast 2 tires with low air "brand new bfg's at's".and seemed to be esp bad when it was cold...i hope that puts it in a perspective from someone who tried to "stick" with them "alloys"
