    18 inch 3.0 wheels.

    Spotted a 2016 3litre today with 18 inch csa raptor wheels today. Looked great I thought. Had 275/65/18 maxis bighorn tyres.
    What's the go here? I thought only compomotive made 18,s for these ? IMG_3269.jpgm

    My guess is they shaved down the front calipers to fit them.

    18s will fit the rear just fine.

    How much do you actually have to shave off the front callipers ? Is it a simple hand held grinder exercise ?

    I had a talk to the owner. No shaving of calipers. He bought them from bob Jane. They fitted straight on and cost $260 each!

    I wonder what their load rating is?

    Seems a bit weird as on the CSA site there is a note that they won't fit,maybe callipers are different 2016?

    1250kg according to the website.
    Also says 18" will not fit - caliper too high
    WTF?

    I asked Kevin at Rovertech,its only a few mm you need to remove.
    My worry is if the vehicle was involved in a fatality you could get into a lot of trouble with the coronor.Im sure if the job was done evenly and neatly nobody would know.Its only the cooling fins that need trimming.
