No, it would need adaptors .. google is your friend.

It also depends which P38 wheels 'cos some (I believe) had slightly different hole diameters, so a definitive answer can't (I think) be given without some further investigation!

It depends on the year of the defender i think. I'm pretty sure they will fit on a TD5 Defender and Discovery. Somebody should be able to comfirm it or shoot me out of the water..

P38 wheels will fit D2's so if D2 wheels will fit td5 deependers then by the powers of deduction I have deduced that so will P38 wheels.. If not then they won't.

Hang on a minute. You have the wheels and your mate has the vehicle you want to know if they'll fit? And you're asking us? FFS

P38 wheels do not fit Defenders (without adaptors) makes no difference if the they are Td5 or anything else. This means Discovery 2 wheels will not fit Defenders.
surprisingly Freelander wheels will not fit Defenders.

Even if the stud pitch were the same, Landrover have used various different spigot diameters (the hole in the middle of the wheel) that centres the wheel on the hub. As has been said already, you would probably need a fitting kit or a set of spigot rings.
