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

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.

And PWM also for dimming once headlights are on etc

I will edit the title to include 20" too,as its the other wheel size with slightly better tyre offerings than the 19".Hopefully we get your post matched in 18" and 20" and different tyre size/profiles.Get to it people,see how many combinations we can compare,even similar size,different brands would be interesting.Will try to find time to do a Cooper AT3 265/60R18 over the weekend.
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.
