I've been offered a set of alloys from a 1991 Disco 1. Will they go on my '88 ex-mod 110? I saw another thread here that mentioned the drum brakes on the 110 would mean the alloys wouldn't fit... ?
Disco 1 wheels on a '88 110?

Dunno if they'll fit your MOD 110 or not but imo, Disco alloys always look totally naff on 'Fenders.

They might fit but wil definitely look nasty. Don't do it.
They won't fit.
1. The earlier Disc/Drum vehicles have different hubs/drive members to the later Disc/Disc vehicles, which means that the wheels won't physically fit.
2. Even if you had a later Disc/Disc Defender - although Discovery Alloys would physically fit the hubs, they're not weight rated for a 110 and would be illegal to fit.

So without wishing to ask something that's been asked a billion times... what recommendations for new wheels that'll go straight on with no bother? I don't need anything too crazy - just something a bit better than the standard... and not too expensive...
Wolf's - 16x6.5 Wolf Rim - tubeless black primer coated
Mod's - 16x7 Black Modular
If you are feeling flush -

Mod's - 16x7 Black Modular

Sorry for being a tool... what size are the current (standard) steels on my 110... i.e., would the tyres on them go on either of the first two you suggested?
I'm confused....
This thread http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f7/new-tyres-wheels-96001.html shows nice disco 1 alloys on a defender without any (mention of) offset issues.
Admittedly there is some question about the drum brakes on early 90s allowing fitment, but there is a 'c' reg currently on eBay showing that they will fit if you just remove the centre cap.....
Maybe the load rating isn't quite sufficient for a fully laden 110 but thats a bit vague really.....
NAS defenders came with them fitted too unless there was a very similar design made specifically for fully laden defenders?
EDIT: having read up a bit... here... I hear what your saying about offsets....
