D3 - Wheels & Tyres.

[gps-au]

Had an interesting comment made to me yesterday before I reshod the D3.

"Why not put on 16 inch wheels and get a decent (& cheap) tyre selection ?"

Anyone ever considered or done this ?

==============

In any case I ended up with 6 x cooper LT245/70R17 AT3

I have a "new" original wrangler and at least 3 continental (approx 9000Km usage) 235/70R17's lying about if anyone wants - PM me.

You can fit 16s easily enough but the car won't stop as well due to the fact that you need to remove the brake calipers to fit the wheels.

I didn't buy a D4 due to the tire sizes. The same was said about the 18 inch on D4s? A solution was made given our overly big rimed mates a bigger selection for thier D4s.

I wonder if it might be possible on a D3. Clearly not off the shelf but worth a thought!

here is the D4 details possibly http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/105896-18-rims-disco-4-3-0l-sign-up-here.html

I did see a post on the D3 UK site a while back that someone did get 16" wheels on their D3. However it was a while back and I cannot recall its content.
