Hi, I have just taken the plunge and bought a Series 3 Lightweight. It is presently fitted with alloy wheels with well knobbly and wide Colway tyres. The original wheels and tyres were sold years ago. Unfortunately it has been sat in a garage for something like 15 years. 2 of the tyres went completely flat and have badly cracked sidewalls so I need to replace them.
I am minded to refit standard wheels and suitable tyres but I’m not sure what they should be. I’ve researched various places and get hints that that it might have had swb wheels or possibly special heavy duty military ones. And adverts tend to say “Landrover series wheels..”
So some dumb questions;
1) what is the difference between swb and lwb series 3 wheels?
2) are there special military wheels possibly with a code number starting FV…..?
Thanks for any help
