18 inch 3.0 wheels.

**Stuart02** · 6th October 2016, 06:02 PM

One thing I did notice when I borrowed 19s for my car is how different they looked to the 9.5"-wide 20s, despite the same offset, in terms of overall width and where they sat in the guards. I think that's one reason the GOEs with their slightly smaller offset look good

Only 25mm overall on Indy Axles in SA....

Looking at the pics that wheel has serious offset

I think you are right Mike.
The rear appears to be normal.
Fair chance it has spacers on the front axle.Will see how Aaron goes Monday.

The only thing stopping me from getting the GOE rims is their styling, if these CSA rims were confirmed a legal fit and clear brakes I'm rushing out and buying them today.

The rim is the CSA Raptor. It is not a legal fit anywhere except Qld.

Yep it does look like the wheel is in line with guard edge, which is noticeable wider than OEMs or Compomotives.
Seems crazy to have different standards across states too.

As Gordon also stated there are requirements to be safe as well as legal.

Minimum thread engagement
Offset
Clearance to calliper (clearance for debris and for things to flex and move)

That's the obvious....

Did a test fit of CSA 18 x 8 wheels, Raptor and Jackal over front disc brake caliper.

The Jackal did not even go on.

The Raptor fitted on however all 4 cooling fins were in contact with the inside of the rim so it couldn't be turned.

The my15 3.0 D4 that is pictured must have had the caliper cooling/ heat dissipation fins ground down so that the wheel could be fitted.

and so it remains that unless you ground the fins the only 18 inch for direct fit is the Compomotives from Gordon....

Thanks for your efforts Aaron.

I suppose the question is, has the caliper been changed on the MY16 D4??? If so and the CSA wheel fits, would a LR 18" wheel fit also?

I would still guess at spacers if this statement by the owner is true.
