Almost all 16" alloy wheels are the same (is it 7J16?), hub-centric, with 5x6.5" bolt pattern.
235/70R16 was standard tire size on all NAS Classics and D1s starting around 95 - including Castor rims for late 94, 95, and 96 model years.

5.5"-wide and 6.5"-wide steel wheels from Series trucks and Defenders also fit D1 and Classics.

There are aftermarket 15" wheels with 5x6.5" bolt pattern that may not always be hub-centric.

As the D1 is in VT can’t look at the wheel yet for sure the tire size is 235/70-16.

On Rangies the first NAS 1987 RRCs had 3-spoke alloy wheels 16x7 with Michelin 205 80R16 tires with bolt pattern as mentioned by Peter.

My ‘94 LWB has same wheel dimensions and the spare is Michelin 205 80R16 tire.

Don’t know about the ‘95 RRC.

Tire size was not the original question. I don't know when 205-16 tires were discontinued by Michelin, but since then, 225/75R16, 235/70R16, and 255/65R16 were used on the same rims. A lot of still-alive Classics still carry 205-16 Michelins as spares while having all sorts of tires outside.

Looks like all alloy wheels for NAS D1 and RRC were 16" in diameter and 7" wide.

Yep, that is in mine with 235s under foot.

Pretty sure all early LRs used that 7”x16” wheel in various configurations.

And yes understand the original inquiry was about a Disco yet just dovetailed onto your Rangie comment on tire size.
