The spacers may not fit if the coiler models they are made for are the:
Disco II, P38 RR or Freelander. Those models strayed from the classic LR
bolt pattern and went to a smaller 5 bolt circle.
If you want your tires to be farther outboard, you could always try the
steel wheels that are spec'd for the NAS 110. They "shift" the rubber
farther out than the series steel wheels, and no need for spacer, and your
lugnuts may work. I can supple the numbers stamped on the wheel if
necessary.
