I know Aaron got 2 types in for a test fitting and both didn't fit despite the manufacturers website saying they do.On set would have needed caliper grinding the other set no chance.
He went 20" OEM with the Nitro grippers in 285/50.Will see how they go in sand in a few weeks when we hold our now annual ****hing Trip.He is very happy with them on-road,look a million too!!!!!

It would seem the CSA website state they do fit the Disco 4 see link below

CSA Direct

which is great news, has anyone else fitted them yet and if so what tyres and do you get any scrubbing/rubbing at all when on full lock etc? As they sit out wider hoping this compensates for the wider 275 tyre.

the offset is "not legal" at 35, and they only list 2 models as fitting, so I wonder if they have done anything different?

What's the go here? I thought only compomotive made 18,s for these ? Attachment 114861

Subsequently refuted. From page 3:

I think the Territories would follow the National COP, so would be the same as Queensland. But I'd check.

And from page 5:

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....

And post from 3 days ago linking to same wheel .... also answered in the negative.
