internal diameter of a 17" steel rim

[chaybra]

hi guys, i was wondering if anyone had a set of steel 17" sunraysia rims and could be ever so kind of taking a measurement of the internal diameter...aka i need it to fit a car that has larger brakes and will not fit the standard 17 alloy rims.

this is based off the presumption that due to the strength of the material would allow for the extra room needed.


any help will be greatly appreciated

The 17" only fit D3 and D4 with the 2.7l engine and small brakes.

For the same thickness, the alloys are stronger, so I doubt the steels would have greater internal diameter.

Cheers,

(should probably be a little more specific - the LR alloy rims are stronger than equivalent spun steel rims - other types of steel rims may be stronger, but heavier)

Ok, So doing some brake part search it appears that the pads are the same number, LR019618 for the front.
Can this be confirmed with someone with 17's fitted?

The (workshop manual) parts catalogue shows the same caliper and pad set part numbers for D3 and pre MY10 (05-09) RRS 2.7 and V8 front brakes but different brackets, discs and splash shields (for the V8 vs 2.7).

Edit: Should have written parts catalogue.

Thanks, do you know if the 17 will fit this particular D3?

[Graeme]

I don't know which particular D3 you're referring to but they all have the same hubs and knuckles except for the hole sizes for the smaller or larger ball joints, ie the same mounting points for the 2 different caliper brackets.

It might help if you tell us what model Discovery you want to fit the 17s too.

17s will fit all 2.7l diesel and 4.0l V6 petrol Discoverys.

Its for a full sized range rover, Td6. The brake pad part numbers are the same.
I test fitted some over the weekend and had no success. The caliper size is roughtly the same however there is a peak on there that just doesnt clear.
Thanks anyway guys...I had to go 20" rims haha

Well that's just saved me playing around this weekend to see if the rims would fit on the rangie!

My brother has just acquired a cheap set of genuine 19" rims for his 08 RRS to give Hankook ATMs a try rather than fit large tyres to his 20" rims that wouldn't fit in the spare wheel spot just to get the same sidewall height.

Graeme, the TD6 is the L322 with the BMW engine?? will 18s fit these:confused:

[mitchE39]

L322 came stock with 18's as the HSE model. Mines got them

[Redback]

There are now quite a good selection of offroad tyres now in 18", so if you need a second set for offroad, will the P38 or D2a 18" rims fit the L322 or are the L322 18s easily available at a reasonable price??

D3 and D4 18s are becoming affordable and I have seen a few sets come up for sale at reasonable prices.

Graeme, the TD6 is the L322 with the BMW engine?? will 18s fit these:confused:His vehicle is a 3.6 TDV8 RRS so only a couple of styles of 19" fit but perhaps the Compomotive rims do too.

[gghaggis]

Yes, the Compomotive's fit the TDV8 RRS, but not the bigger 4.4 ltr TDV8 RR.
