Different bolt diameter for original LR alloy wheels?
I have original 7,5Jx18 alloy wheels on my Disco 3 from 2008 with winter tyres on it. I recently bought used original alloy wheels in the same dimension but funny enough the diameter of the holes in the wheels for the bolts are a littlebit smaller and I therefore can´t use the same bolts as for my winter wheels.
My LR trader here in Sweden couldn´t help me with that and ment that these wheels mayby are from the Range Rover instead.
Anyway, shouldn´t they fit the Disco 3?
Do anyone know if they are different diameters and if yes, which?

it sounds like you've got some pre 06 RR alloys. These used a small diameter black sleeve wheelnut, the same as the pre06 19" six spoke RR alloys. your choice is a new set of wheelnuts or swap the alloys

Agree with Al, sounds like these, in which case not a straight fit.
Re RR wheels, these ar pe the straight fit ones:

If the rims otherwise fit my Disco 3 I will go for new wheel nuts. In Sweden they cost me 13,- EUR each. Any idea about a place where I can get them cheaper?

I'd check the 18" RR rims clear the brake calipers first, as I think you've got the first alloys in this list:
You should have had a look at this thread, it would have helped you before buying the wheels
otherwise buying new wheelnuts may not help. Its unlikely you'll get these whelnuts from anywhere else.

Correct, my rims are the first ones in the list. I'll check the thing with the brake calipers before I buy the wheel nuts.
In worst case I have to sell the rims to someone with a RR.
