Disco 2 HELP I'm going nuts

Right I have a d2 with 18 inch alloys I have bought 16 inch alloys but need the bigger nuts.
I know that d1 and d2 have different hubs fitment etc but will d1 nuts fit a d2!

NO, different thread size iirc.

Cheers

Thanks

I would venture that you've done something wrong here, possibly purchased the wrong 16" rims.
I have a D2 which I run on the original 18" alloy rims with normal tyres during the warmer weather and 16" alloy rims with cold climate tyres between November and May.
I use the same wheelnuts when I change the wheels over with absolutely no difficulty at all. Remove wheelnuts, change over wheels, replace wheelnuts, job done.

The wheels fit correctly but the nuts have the same thread but are thinner if you know what I mean the one on the right is off my 18"s the left off the 16"s

Those 16 inch nuts do not look like any Disco wheel nuts I have ever seen. They look like wheel nuts that hold hub centred wheels.
ABOVE is WRONG, got my LH and RH mixed up..........
Are the wheels you have std LR wheels?

Any pictures of the wheels?

Cheers

Them are the 18"s with the smaller nuts

Them are the 16"s with the bigger nuts

OK,

Yeah, got my LH and RH mixed up, the 18 inch ones do not look like D2 wheel nuts..........Me BAD....Sorry.

So the std LR wheel nuts the LH ones in your photo look like the ones on my D2.
Not sure why you think they do not fit.

I am confused.............

Cheers

I would say that the 16" wheels are a standard Disco 2 fit, as are the wheelnuts on the left in your picture.
I would go as far as to say that even though 18" wheels are also a standard fit on a Disco 2, your particular 18" wheels and the wheelnuts on the right might be an aftermarket supplied set. I would even say that the tyre size in your picture isn't the LR recommended size either.

Got the pictures off Google basically the hole in the wheels for the nuts have a bigger diameter in the 16"s and smaller in the 18"s if ya know what I mean

As I've said above, your 18" wheels look to be aftermarket and not a standard LR fit.

+1

What @brian47 said.

D2 wheel nuts, look identical to D1 wheel nuts. BUT the thread iirc are not the same. I had 20 old D1 wheel nuts from a previous car and thought I would use 4 of them to get rid of the locking wheel nuts on my D2, on inspection , they look the same externally but the threads were different.

Cheers

Thanks for the info guys

I'd say the 18" wheels are from a D3
They have the same pcd as the D2 and same thread on nuts but head on standard D2 nut is 27mm and on D3 it's 22mm
