Wheels question
« on: November 07, 2009, 01:06:06 PM »
OK, so i have a set of steel wheels that are 16 x 7.5, bolt pattern 5 on 4 3/4. The question is will these fit my P38?

So the P38 bolt pattern is suppose to be 5x120mm. So that means
120mm=4.72440945
these are 5x4.750.
is that .03 going to make it not fit properly?

Should fit, I know a few Disco owners that go through the same deal and they seem to be ok.  When you actually mount that wheel the difference gets split over all five studs and ends up being very minimal.

Take Care,
