You need a jig to re- drill the wheels, i can do it for £15 per wheel :)

Ah now that is interesting, if I do manage to get a set I may take you up on that, I would just have to work out the logistics of getting them to you, hopefully I will have them sorted by the summer time. N

Do you want 15" or 16", 8 spoke or modular? Some land rover wheels have way too much offset for the transit :wink:

Might have to visit a land rover parts place and have a look at the different ones :) N

I have looked on paddock spares and they have 8 spoke and modular 8 16x7 with offset of plus8 for £40 per wheel (new) I assume 16 is wheel size and 7 is the widths, I just need to decide which style will suit my plans for the van (if they fit) N

The first set are the same offset as mine, they stick out a bit but are legal with the ST arches :wink:

Cracking, I'm thinking of getting the new ones (1 after each paid job) I wasn't going to get sport van arches instead I was planning on making some mk2 escort style bubble arches (is that the right name) so hopefully the wheel protrusion shouldn't be a massive issue.

Thanks for your help n advice as soon as I have all 4 wheels I can sort out a way of getting them to you for re-drilling. N

Hey buddy i have a set of land-rover wellers for my MK6 . where are you based please i want them drilled, but i will imagine it will be a mission getting to you your bound to be miles away Im in Margate. so im thinking can i buy a jig from you ??. untill i saw this post i was going to use a step drill and drill them out, then cut the center from a std wheel and have my local metal shop copy the pattern in like 3mm steel and weld it the weller allowing me to keep the centre hub doing its job.
whats you view buddy ??
I Would like to agree with you , But then we would both be wrong !!
