On the site they say they are suitable however I have not seen them mentioned here or on the Disco4 site.
They look like a good alternative as an 18 inch rim.

My car arrives in mid-late December, just before Xmas and comes with the 20inch black pack rims. Am I better suited to get the 19 inch black pack rims and add some better All Terrain gyres so I don't need to switch wheels?

Thank you

Gordon's (GOE) rims allow for the extra size of the brakes etc from memory. From what I have read, you need to make sure that the rims you are looking at will actually fit. I'm not an expert so will leave it to others with more detailed knowledge to comment but be aware of the potential pitfall and get a guarntee from the seller that they will indeed fit your new car.

Gordon will probably comment in due course.

Welcome to the forum.

The vehicle selection options on the site doesn't give the option to specify between 2.7 and 3ltr motors, just '2009+' which I think is concerning. Certainly take the time to call them up and check... then get it in writing! as I think for now at least the Compomotives are the only option in the world (excluding Tombie's prototype ones and the dodgy ones that kept cracking), and they were specially modified for the job.

Hard to tell exactly but they look very similar to the wheels helixx put on here: http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/...ml#post2281680


He had to grind away part of the front brake callipers... ("I had to grind about 5mm from the front caliper ribs. this leaves about 3mm clearance between rim and brake.")

Mudtech also do one RAID 18″ WHEELS | MUDTECH 4?4
which are about the same price as the Compomotives

Yes of course, I forgot about those and stand corrected. Properly ugly compared to Compomotives though for the same money

There aren't any 2.7L anymore (nor V8 petrol) and I think judging by the spec attached below that the brakes are all the large variety?

Spoke to Adrian on 03 9541 9688, he is at 88 Ricketts Rd Mount Waverley VIC.
His initial answer is that they will fit, but when I explained that tolerances are VERY tight, he said that he is happy to have someone call him to organise a trial fitting of either the Advanti Thunder or Advanti Krawler 5 rims to the front of a D4 SDV6. He will need a little notice to get everything ready.

Be aware that there is a legal minimum clearance between the caliper and rim, which IIRC is 3mm but could be more.
