These should be a pretty good replacement for the 18" wheels when I'm in the sand or mud next.

Went to their website and they have a model perfect for the D4, might be a bit expensive though

Awesome! How much do these go for?

Would/ are they legal to drive on in Australia?

$16K+ a set + import + tax.

legal on our roads with an engineers blue plate. theres a couple of bus configured vehicles up in the blue mountains running them as well as some specialist rigs for the mining/drilling companies on them.

Does the spare fit in the normal spot?:eek:
What pressure would you run them at?:D
Are they better than the Wranglers?:p

With terrain response, set to SAND, do you still need to turn DSC OFF ??

Is there anything new under the sun?

I probably would. Would be worth checking the handling with it on or off.
Wonder if I can get a set fitted before hitting the beach at Robe later this year, might keep the belly of the car off the sand.:censored:

I wonder if they make a set with a suitable offset, width, diameter etc which would mee the requirements of the various legislation of all the different states, which also begs the question, how easy/time consuming, it would be to have a set on a trailer to change over when they might be needed :angel:

Also seeing they have a max speed of 60Kph, would we need to run shortened rods with them for clearance.... :)

I'm pretty sure the manufacturer states 30 minutes to fit to the vehicle.
