You cant pic it by eye but they flicker.Pics taken on a tablet,when you are framing the pic the sig lights show flashing.Note how both vehicles have different bits of the sig lights showing.

Andy, not saying I wouldn't go to 15 in really soft sand if needed - I would...

I just wouldn't race down past 20 unless there was a damn good reason...;)

Looks like fun:D

Just installed the Compu 18" rims with 285 60R 18 on the D4 (2013) and loving it! :)

I know they do... It's PWM for thermal management.

Thanks

Thanks Andrew. I wondered where the 20" came from. The additional size would be useful.

I read somewhere that the OEM wheels hold onto the bead much tighter than after market varieties. If this is true, lower pressures should not pop the bead quite so easily.

Current model D4's come from factory with either 19" or 20" rims.

Hard to tell from pic but they don't look like they're bagging out :)

15 is low for an already low profile.

You don't want them bagging out. You want a longer not wider footprint.
