Hi all does anyone know for sure if freestyle alloys will fit a 2012 defender.

If you can wait till the Driving weekend on the 24/25th  or GRR on 1st June we could try fitting one of mine onto yours ?

PCD on defenders are the same, issues with earlier pre defenders ( before 1990 ) were drive shaft flange foul the alloys, defenders 1990- current are all the same. Tdi Discoverys also have the same PCD but td5 discovery has a different PCD .
Free style alloys will fit but are not load weighted for 110 and 130

Hope this helps

Every defender made has the same stud pcd, 5 x  6 /1/2"  (165.1 mm) same as Series, RR classic, Discovery 200 + 300 TDI.  Early 90/110 had a thicker drive flange  which prevented LR alloys from sitting square on the hub, also the studs did not have a small slot marked on the end which apparantly signified whether or not alloy wheels could be fitted. All  Defender 300 TDI + TD5 + TDCI  take alloy wheels. TD5 Discovery has a smaller PCD,  same as a P38, alloys from them will not fit Defenders without adaptors.
