As long as your studs have small slots or grooves cut across the ends, then yes they were designed for and will accept alloys. Being a Tdi then you should be fine - the wheels should bolt right on with the correct nuts as you have said.

200Tdi vehicles we're never supplied with alloys, so you may have issues with hub drive member clearance and you won't be able to fit the alloy centre caps.

Thanks guys. I'm installing Ashcraft drive members next week so I'll no longer be running stock. I'm assuming Boost and SVX rims would have the necessary clearance?

Looks like I may need the spacers after all to clear the HD drive members.
My 200tdi is a very late model '93 and has rear disc brakes so I shouldn't have to worry about rim/drum interference. |

If you're changing the drive members anyway that'll likely be fine, aside from the centre cap issue as you say.
I have a 1993 110 as well, it was a right mismatch of parts. Though not sure how much of that is attributable to Land Rover and how much to previous owners. |

ZU's maybe a better option without centre caps.

A big for the ZU's from me. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.
