Nothing ever goes right

Bought some supposed 16" P38 wheels for the Rangie, had the new tyres fitted and the blasted wheels don't fit. The wheelnut spacings are right but the wheel won't fit over the flange on the disk, the wheel seems to be a mil or two too tight. Opening a bottle to sulk

Wonder what they're from then?? I thought everything else with that PCD had larger centre bores, hence the need for spigot rings when fitting to P38?? It's not just dirt/rust is it??

gawd knows they are LR wheels though, I'll have to have a look in the daylight but I cleaned them up and copperslipped before trying to fit them

got any pics of the wheels?

Clean up with 150 grit, can buy on a roll from wickes or similar
If Still won't fit all is not lost, as long as there is enough metal a local engineering firm can machine them out.

Sorted it the 18" wheels that came off would fit an L322 which has a bigger centre and guess what in the daylight I found a spiggot ring. It lost an argument with my cold chisel and the new ones now fit.

These are the ones that came off

So do I but I need a set of tyres for off roading and around the farms I work on, picked up the16" rims with nuts for £50, brand new Grabber AT2's for £80 each. I was thinking of keeping the others but the ride and handling is much better now so I might sell them.

But you can get General Grabber AT2s for the original wheels - that's what I've got on mine...

Aye but I prefer to fill the wheelarch with rubber rather than wheel for offroading

yeah running two sets of tires is a pain

Especially when you've got to mess about with spiggot rings as well
