There are various combinations of wheel PCD and stud sizes, best way it to physically check the wheel against the studs and put the nuts on (and note that some wheels won't take standard nuts either)

Cyclone is a name of an early disco wheel, five spokes all slanted in one direction. The part number which will be stamped on the wheel is NTC7739 the three letters following the number only indicate the colour.

if it's got steel wheels on now, you'll need to get a set of Alloy wheel nuts to get them to fit.

Get on Ebay loads of cheap wheel nuts on there. and you need 23 (or 18 if you want to fit a locking wheel nut as well.

Yup, 4 per wheel plus a locking nut each, and two for the spare plus locking nut.
They're about £3.50 each on Fleabay. We had RR Sport 19" wheels with low profiles on the Disco when we bought it, horrible ride! The spare was a standard Disco wheel, so if you had a puncture you were stuffed, because:
Those wheels had their own special nuts, so when we changed to 16" alloys, we had to buy a new set of nuts and locking nuts to fit, plus the extra-long 27mm wheel brace to undo them.
Sold the 4 RR Sport wheels on Fleabay and virtually paid for the 5 replacements with the money, also from Fleabay. We wanted 6-spoke wheels, but had to buy 6 wheels to get 5 and so on....

Thanks, I've always wondered what the difference was, I just knew they are not interchangeable in either direction.

May be wrong, but the number for an alloy spare wheel nut for a D1 was RTC9563 but it's no longer available. Normal road wheel nuts are used now with a spacer on the stud before the wheel is fitted. Thats progress

What I said, genuine Land Rover nuts for genuine Land Rover wheels, the D1 spare wheel had a different nut.

Are you sure about that? I've had many discos and the only ones with diferent thread on the spare wheel carrier were ones I'd replaced with some bolts cos the proper studs had fell orf. There are some thinner nuts to hold those dodgy plastic covers they used to put on to hide the fact that you had a non matching steel spare.
