deep dish steel rims - regular studs?

Anyone know if you can use the deep dish steel rims (military and the 1 tonne) on a 90 with standard wheel studs?

I know you can't the wolf rims, but is the deep dish steel thickness the same as standard steel rims?

Thanksing you

Are ye sayin' that ye 'can't' run the wolf rims on normal studs Muddy?
Ah've had mine on nearly a month and the previous owner had them on for a good couple of years too without any probs.

:O i hope its ok as i was planning on 255/85's on wolfs for me next motor! :O

thought all mod items had to be interchangable wi civvy ones ie wheels filters,clutchs etc to allow fer max cannabilism
therfer wolfs should fit normul defender an vicerversa

If anything, the wheel nuts dont go all the way down the studs, as ye can see in this pic...

seen two cars wrecked in feilds at side o a701 this morning an one on thurs day as well all wi police aware notices

yer wheel nuts should always go on so that there's at least 2 threads proud of the top of the nut. those studs are too short.

There tighter than a tight thing Trewy, can't see them coming off in a hurry. What would the diffrunce be if ah got sum o' them 'capped' wheel nuts?

Aye a gotta change clutch slave cylinder and handbrake shoes on mine, so im sure i will be achin anaw. (not desperate)
Done me fuel and air filters the day and added a bottle of forte fuel cleaner (which was a freebie) and goin tae carstairs the morra so that should help things a little

A got capped nuts on my wheels but thems those nice cheep alloys wi bfg mts on

capped nuts wouldn't make any difference - you would still have insufficient thread engagement because the studs are too short.
they shouldn't be tighter than a tight thing! 81lbft is the correct torque, which aint that tight.
the wheels are located by the action of the mating tapers on the inside of the nut and the dish on the wheel. the strength of the joint is dependent on the surface area of the mating threads - more surface (mating) area = more friction = more strength.

I wouldn't be happy belting down the motorway without full thread engagement on me wheel nuts!

PS - I once had both front wheels come off me mini simultaneously at 80mph, the front end dug in and it flipped end-over-end several times. fortunately, it was an oval track racer and I had a full harness, roll cage and crash helmet.
