Suit D3 as I use for mud tyres (see below). If anyone else is buying for spares I'll buy one off you as long as they do not go for silly money) (i know of two others with this type of wheel).

Guys,
in my experience FFRR wheels don't fit a D3 - this cost me £100 to find out! I'd be very interested to learn if I've got this wrong

just for future reference, is it nut centers, or arch clearence etc, so that would mean 06 D3 wheels wouldnt fit a 05 D3 then, yes?

No Choc ...we are talking about Full Fat Range Rover alloys. Prior to the revised model released in 2006 the wheels would not fit D3's for several reasons one being nuts and ISTR spacing was an issue too. '06 FFRR's fit without any complication. 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

DSL you didn't point me in this direction I thought you had enough wheels
I know, I know i asked for 17" wheels, fair enough.
If you win i could pick them up as a sweetener so that you can sell me some of the vast collection you must have

DSL, am I correct in thinking that the 7 spoke FFRR wheel (as per your picture above) is an "06 MY onwards design? In other words, this style of FFRR 19" wheel will always fit a D3.
Thanks.

Yep, 2006 onwards FFRR 19" wheels are fine on a D3. I use them with MTRs. See pics in my galleries.
I am considering buying a set of second hand 19" FFRR Wheels, with Goodyear MTRs fitted. I am not sure what year they are from, but I do know they look like these:
The seller did tell me I will need different nuts than the standard Discovery 3 nuts, but he could supply them to me.
He confirms these wheels will fit the Disco3, but how can I be sure?
Thanks,

those are the ealier ones, and did use different wheel nuts. I know a couple of folks have tried the earlier 18" alloys, and they foul the brake calipers. Not sure about the 19" though.
Its probably not worth it.
