Wheels and tyre advice

The RRS only requires a load rating of 900kg. There certainly are some LR 18" RRS rims that are made to a lower rating than the required 940kg of the D3/D4, but this doesn't seem to be consistent.

So I guess don't assume the RRS rims are always going to be legal on a D4.

Cheers,

Yes, I have 265/70/17 KM2s and have no problems. I have a 2" dobinson lift as I have the base model with coils.

Will have an issue tho' with the spare as it will need to be fitted flat or most of the air out anyway.
You may get a small rub here & there with full articulation out in the rough stuff.

Hi Discophil, How do you find the 2" lift by Dobinsons. I am thinking of doing this as well, did you get coils & struts, did you upgrade to a higher load rating, does it change the ride, how long have you had them on, are there any unforeseen issues.

Cheers,
Murray

So these rims are for a D3/D4 2.7l WILL NOT FIT THE 30Lt

At $400 for 5 it's a bargain, Larry(Mark) is a nice bloke and honest, been on the forum for yonks.

Just getting a few quotes, I am trying to get all 5 wheels and tyres done for 2.5grand. That's 285/70/R17 Cooper ST maxx on King Steel 17/8 black wheels.
Id get the ones for sale in the market section on here but they are in WA, and with delivery on-top it blows my budget

So far Tyre Power are at $2750 for 5, waiting for a discounted price if they will do it.

And I just realised my spare might not fit if I get the 5th done. Oh well on the roof it will go.

Anyone know any well priced Tyre outlets near Sydney, preferably West?

I hope you mean 265/70/17, cause 285/70/17s won't fit without a lot of rubbing.

Hi Murray,

Love the lift, was the best thing I did to the car. I found I was scraping on everything, not any more. I got the coils and struts and had installed at Graeme Coopers for around $1200. I didn't get the heavy duty ones as I was afraid of making the ride too harsh. The ride is slightly firmer and even though it sits higher, it feels like it corners better due to the stiffness. 90% of my driving is around town so I was worried about the ride, however I have to say I am very happy with it and would highly recommend it. I have had them on for about 2 years now and have had no issues at all.
