I figured they were, but for some reason my 255/85s look different on my D1. Might be an optical illusion.

D-I wheel wells are slightly different and lack flares, both contribute to the difference in looks. I run XZLs on my D-I, or 235/85s, as any bigger gotta start cutting or lifting more than 2" or both, and I prefer to stay as low as possible and add lockers in lieu of height. sorry to ramble...

At risk of pedantry, those steel wheels are not RR spares but Discovery steels. They are used as RR spares, like the five-spoke DI steels were used on the last of the RRCs as spares, because they are cheap and virtually never seen, but many Discovery Is and IIs are used commercially in Europe and the preference is for steel wheels in those instances.

It's a minor point, but it might help those of you who are looking for these wheels to know that they are standard fitment to lower spec Discoverys but not to Range Rovers.

No problem...I'll be going to 235/85s on my d1 soon as well

Or you could mount them on your truck.

My plans for the Rover are changing and it looks like I'll be staying closer to stock for the time being. Selling these off will help fund other things, or paying off all the bicycle stuff I bought last year...
