Could anyone please tell me would a set of alloy wheels from a 3rd generation disco(17") fit on my defender 90 1996 (16") and if so could I just use the wheel nuts that are on my defender or would I need different ones.
Thanks steve

differant stud configuration you can buy adapter plates to convert them but think they are quite expensive

They won't fit and rightly so. You need a slap for even thinking it.

Alloy wheels may be a shade lighter, but steels can take knocks and bangs and are still repairable.
If alloys are banged or knocked, they aren't repairable, you've gotta get new ones
