    At LLAMS +50 and offroad.....not that I can hear. At other heights its only a slight rub, but has been enough to make the rubbing area shiny.

    I can live with it....and I will fix it soon.

    I only have them on when I go away for day trips or longer.

    I only get a very light scuff at full compression on the rear (climbing tree stumps or on some slow rock crawling when the wheel is pushed right up into the guard).....it's just enough to slightly mark the wheel arch liner. A bit of dust and you can't see the mark.

    Brett....

    Very happy I went for the larger tyres as its transformed the D4.

    Hey Brett,

    What about the spare ... Does it fit in ok, hang down excessively?

    Cheers,

    Kev.

    The spare has to be fully deflated to fit, and it does hang a little lower, but still higher than a long range tank. Fitting the towbar can be a struggle - I generally use the jack to help push it past the spare and lock it in. Those with the Mitch Hitch don't have that problem.

    Cheers,

    Gordon

    Considering how many times my stock tyre hit things I'd suggest it may see more damage!

    Guess it depends what surfaces you drive..

    But the leading edge will be 30mm closer to the ground!

    Are you sure Gordon?!

    I've just fitted a Long Ranger tank and its higher than the front edge of the spare by a notable margin.

    I recall that diagram or something similar from when I first looked at modifying my original D3. My reality didn't match the diagram, but I imagine it was an earlier design (don't think it was Long Ranger).

    Of course, the car on 285/60R18's will be 17mm higher, right?


    Cheers,

    Gordon

    Speedo will read slower by 3~5%, as will odometer. There's a couple of threads on here about re-calibrating with a Faultmate.

    Cheers,

    I actually found the 285/60 R18's made my speedo just about spot on.
    This is comparing it to my GPS speed on a nice flat, straight length of freeway using cruise contol.

    Standard tyres are reading over the true speed as most speedos are.

    Did you check the odometer? It generally runs (close to) true.
