help anyone know , looking at putting zeus type disc kit on my 3 lightweight . The advice is to not use ordinary land rover rims to ensure space for the callipers .the rims on now are off my defender 90 which has discs . so will they fit ? The reason for the search is that the drums dont like going backwrds & stick rather to often even though i have replaced them . regard mick
 
Standard steel defender rims won't work.
You'll need wolf rims.
The wheel "well", the narrowest bit, is much further in on a steel Landrover rim, which means it is in the same physical place as the caliper.

Been there, done that.
 
i supose the new calipers must stick out futher ! i didunt realise the wolf rims were a different profile ,i will look out for some as i am reluctant to loose the real landy look by using modular wheels . many thans for the reply ! reg mick
