SIIA Wheel Spacers

Those wouldn't fit without modification. Notice the hub has clearance for 5 flange bolts, the series rover has 6. Would be easy enough to do/have done but why not just buy the right part to begin with?

Not sure I understand WHY Galf wants the wheels spaced. Clearance, appearance, what exactly?

The further apart your wheels get from the frame rails, the tighter you can adjust your steering. Then maybe, just maybe, you can make a U-turn without stopping traffic for a 100 point turn.

Helps handling a bit and looks kewl too. But that last one is an opinion.

Assuming that TimSmith is Galf's spokesman, okay then.

The reason I ask, is that I have some 15 rims that are Dick Cepek, reversed, they are wider than normal, AND offset to the outboard side of the frame rails. They have this part number stamped in them: 272309

I want to get rid of them, if anyone is interested. They have 31 10.50R15's on them with 95% tread. If you are interested, I will email pics, let me know.

Galf has an interesting modified truck that's running 9X16's. THe increase in diameter kills your turning circle - hence the spacers.

Galf - did you ever fit that sals up front?

272309 is an early 16" steel rim for the 109.

I have Discovery steel wheels on my 1966 109 SW. If these will fit the Disco. series I then they should fit a series truck. It maybe cheaper to get the Wolf wheels or maybe not.

Jim, I agree that steel disco I wheels fit a series just fine but I'm referring to the wheel spacers you posted the link to. Check out the machined portion that fit's over the hub. It has 5 cutouts for the axle drive flange where a series truck has a 6 bolt pattern on the drive flange. These won't fit without being modified.

You are quite correct about the part number. I do not know the era, but there was a time when Dick Cepek and others would take the 16" rim, and mount it on a 15", deep dish ring, as an aftermarket thing. I believe that the ring got shrunk down because of the waste from removing it from the 16" ring.

The rims and tires that I have for sale are 15's, if anyone is interested.

I can't begin to tell you how much Galf would not want me as a spokes person.

Didn't mean to sound like that

If this were a few months ago, I would have been all over those wheels! Oh well.

[Rineheitzgabot]

I'll make you a deal!

[Tim Smith]

I'd love to but I'm out of cash! Seriously about a month ago I was on a spending spree with my rover and now I've got to pay the piper.


Cheers.

I'm not in a hurry, if you change your mind, let me know.
