I got a line on 4 1990 Range Rover wheels cheeeep. Does anybody know if these will fit a '97 disco. I'm not only concerned about the bolt pattern, but also about disc brake caliper clearence and backspacing. Any info is appreciated.   Alan Bates (Alanb) Senior Member Username: Alanb Post Number: 318 Registered: 07-2002 Posted on Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 12:58 pm:    You should have no problems at all. RRC and D1 axles are almost identical. Here is a pic I found in my pic archives of a D1 with RRC wheels. Don't know who's D1 it is:   Jaime Crusellas (Jaime) Member Username: Jaime Post Number: 110 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 30, 2003 - 01:26 pm:    Thanks Alan! Gives me a good idea of what they'll look like...even down to the ARB bar.   Jaime Crusellas (Jaime) Member Username: Jaime Post Number: 115 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2003 - 09:09 am:    Well, I got the 4 wheels ($200) but they came with tires!! Cooper discoverer 205/80 16..RRC stock size. And they have about 3/8 inch of tread left. I was planning on just getting the wheels and putting some BFG 225/75 16 old style Mud Terrains that I can get on closeout for $100 apiece. So where before it was a no brainer decision to buy the BFGs, now I gotta think about it. So, does anybody know just how much better are the BFGs old style Mud Terrains better in Pine Barrens mud than Cooper Discoverers? Are they $400 better??
