If the standard D3 rims fit a d4, why not just use them instead of all this angst?

The 18” won’t fit the newer D4’s. The inside of the rims rub the brakes. So the compomotives and the new tuffant Steelies are designed to fit the new D4’s with their larger brakes.

Bugger, I’m running the v8 bigger brakes on mine as well, are the d4 brakes bigger again?

Also, check out MAK wheels from Italy. They have some I think. Not bad price.

Fronts are 360mm, rears 350mm

The OEM 18" will fit the rears,not the fronts of the 3.0l D4.

Just to make things more confusing......[bigwhistle]

Providing its not an early 3.0 D4 that still has the alloy rear calipers, although they can be swapped for the later calipers which are 2.7 rear calipers anyway.
