Not sure - but check what bolts and nuts you need. I think they vary from steel to alloy

I know that if you remove an alloy to fit a steel wheel you need tio change the bolts. I assume it applies the other way around.

Yes you do need new bolt / nuts for aluminium wheel rims they are a different flange fitting.

I had to do the same on my Disco when I chaned from steel to aluminium

Think you can use the bolts from alloy rims on steel wheels.
That's what I was told when questioning what bolts to use on a steel spare when the road wheels where alloy.

I'm sure someone with definate answers will be along soon.

Our caravan which has alloy wheels came supplied with bolts in the event that the steel spare wheel needs to be fitted. I have to assume that you cannot use bolts from alloy trims on steel wheels therefroe it stands to reason it cannot be used the other way around.
