SubscriberI got set of 5 with kuhmo MT51 in garage. Send me PM.Just wondering if anyone here in Melbourne has a set of these on their car yet(?). I'm wanting to check them out on person, and also maybe seeing about a trial fit maybe.
I quite like them,, but I do love my 20" rims, but would like to see what they look like up close and personable.
Also, just wondering, as we'll be doing more touring than the "rougher" stuff, how the larger walled tyres on these rims will handle the almost 3 tonne of van as in handling, or feel whilst driving on the road. Its been a while since I've had the larger tyre's, and I've only towed this van on the 20", which give a very positive feel on the road, something I like.

Was the reported problem with the rear and if so, what model D4? MY10/11 3.0 D4s were originally fitted with larger rear calipers than later models.

the problem is on my 2011 D4 3.0l SDv6 SE. is this model that you are saying the front calipers are too large and if so does that means that Tuffants dont fit all the D4s built during that period. I have not seen any mention of that restriction re Tuffants previously. the website mentions that this model/year have been tested and fit OK and I would think Andrew has this right.

The larger calipers were on the rear. They then reverted back to the same rear calipers as the previous 2.7l model. The front calipers have not changes since start of going to the bigger rotors.

SubscriberThe larger calipers at the rear weren't bigger than the front were they?
In other words, if the wheels fit the front, it should stand to reason that the wheel also fit over the the smaller or equal to rear calipers?

LR 18" rims almost fit over the 3.0's front calipers but foul worse on MY10/11 rear calipers.

OK, an update on my wheels not fitting after taking them to Bob Janes for fitment.
I have taken them to Pro4x4 in Port Adelaide this morning and they put the D4 up on a hoist and tried the same rime front and back. fits the back with a 10mm gap. on the front it looked as tight as a fishes bum but we managed to fit in a piece of paper between the calipers and rim, but only a single piece mind you. well at least they fit without scraping and I asked if they were to polish the front fins -not grind them, that would be wrong-
so that I have a 2mm gap then all will be sweet. so thats what we're going to do, a bit of work with a floppy-wheel.
both the brake setups are original Land Rover parts and obviously the front has far less clearance than the rear which is different to what a couple of the earlier posts mentioned. cheers
