Thread: 18 inch 3.0 wheels.

Spacers would not have made a difference with this rim, if he had the same brake package as my td6 my15 it must have had the caliper shaved..

Grentarc is there a Steel rim that is readily available that meets the load rating? I saw the Terrafirma info posted a while ago and talked to a local supplier of their products however he came back with not available.

I have heard there is a Dynamic ION 179 wheel in 18 x 9 size with a Bolt circle 5 x 120 load rating is 1133 however the offset is p30 which would be getting close to the edge of the flare especially in a 9inch width...

The terrafirma one can easily be purchased from a UK seller and they will ship to Australia a full set for less than $1000 last I heard, but I haven't kept up to date on exchange rates since that time.

Do you know of anyone in Australia that has received them? There were quite a few discrepancies in that ebay advert including rim size etc..

Send this shop an email and ask them about the wheels if you are interested

Personally, I'm going to be trying out LT 19" tyres before I think of going to 18"

He definitely didn't mention any calipers modification. Looks like bob Jane have got the grinder onto his calipers and haven't told him !! Dodgey !

Doubt it, wouldn't that have stood out like dogs balls? 100% sure it's the same brakes on his? Sounds like the owner's lying about something. I doubt they would even have an angle grinder in the shop let alone be game enough to take one to a caliper....

Yeah there is those..

Except it's some Chinese made rim (almost all TF gear is China made)...

And once you bolt it on your D4 looks like a bling loaded Patrol..

Then you have to go fit 22 light bars, big flares and a 7" lift, flip your baseball cap around, fit huge subwoofers at the expense of luggage space and start using phrases like "fully sik" and listening to Bliss and Eso...

Ha ha ha Fully Shick Bro.
