While the Land Rover and Bofors/Morris hubs share the same stud size and pattern, the centre holes are different sizes. The centres of the LR rim are 112mm, while the Bofors is 104mm. The Landy rims will fit a Bofors nicely (How do I know that?), but the Bofors rims will only fit an early Series 1 Landy with Semi-floating hubs (as per Len Beadell's Woomera survey vehicle). The later Series vehicles went to larger bearing sizes and the centre hubs are larger, same with Defender.
