Thread: 15" STEEL RIMS ON 2004 D2

no 15" rims can not work on a D2 due to clearance on the brake assembly
16 is the smallest a set of 265/75/16 are a good 32" tyre which does not affect gearing or rubbing

cheers kelvin

Sorry for having to be different Kelvin but I think you actually can fIt them, a guy in the states has done it and there is a thread in this section about it, I'm currently on the iPhone so I will get a link when I get home on my laptop (alot easier)

it's also the car that I was telling tou about the other day with the HD coils and mad flex

Even if 15" do fit, I would have thought that it would be difficult to find wheels in the correct stud pattern.

Yeah exactly, it would be something that you would have to find in the states and get shipped over here i'd say

This is the guy i am talking about;

[ame=http://www.lrrforums.com/showthread.php't=13210]I'm stuffed! - Land Rover Repair Forums - LRRForums.com[/ame]

He lists the site that he bought the rims from, i'm not sure how the hell the stud pattern is the same though, i am very confused, he mentions something about drilling out and spacers in another thread i read, still got no idea though haha.

Also kelvin i think he says in his sig that he also runs a 2 inch spacer lift under the springs which would probably explain how he got the long shocks in there, still though, it flex's amazingly well for HD springs.

When I looked into this in South Oz the answer was - totally illegal

You cannot go under the smallest rim size fitted factory.

Thank you all for your info.
Was only trying to save a few bucks hanging on to a good set of tyres but it is not to be, will now be on the look out for some 16" steels/alloys and tyres.

Cheers,

Fish.

For what its worth; if you don't want to keep the 18's, check with your local Landy workshop. I found they were more than happy to swap for a set of 16's as I was dreading replacing 18' rubber....Cheers Chris.
