thanks Graeme. my rears look similar to your pics but the fronts have 3 fins that protrude out hence the less than 1mm clearance. not sure why my fronts are bigger than the rears but in the end it looks as if I will successfully fit the Tuffants with a bit of tough love on those fins. now to get the Llams and all the other goodies!!!
After the initial batch of D4s described by Graeme all D4s had larger fronts than rears, so that’s normal. What is odd is that your fronts do not fit when many other fronts on 3.0L D4s, at least the six or so I’ve seen myself plus my own, do fit clear and without calliper modification. So something is slightly different about your front callipers. Are you able to post a photo of the front calliper? Is there any identifying numbers on the calliper? Three fins are present on all the ones I’ve seen, so that’s not unusual in itself.

Had a set of tuffants come in today attached to a 2010 d4 3.0 and had to replace front brakes. There is clearance however not a lot ...

We've decided already, they look the goods, so hopefully, sometime between Sept and Jan, we'll have a set for the main trip,,, of course, there's that old problem of which tyre's now [bigwhistle]
Thanks again, Marcus and Leeanne.
A little late to this party, but midway through this thread posters were concerned about the 5kg increase in wheel weight would adversely effect the Traction system.
I disagree. Dont forget the TR system is also controlling the entire vehicle mass of 3000kg or 750kg per wheel. 5kg here or there should not make much difference.
You welcomeQuote:
