    You would need to check others.
    Thanks for confirming. That is good news if there are 2 good options available.

    Goto performance alloys website, they are a UK company

    input your model discovery 4 and it gives plenty of 18” wheel options for the 3L version as well and many are at a very good price. It checks centre bore etc too which I found was the most limiting aspect when hunting for wheels

    I bought a set of gloss black 18’s which come with a 1050kg load rating

    good luck

    I'm going for 18s probably Tuffant steel rims when these tyres I have now are up for replacement. I'm motivated by the greater range available and the higher profile..... present tyres (255x55x19 from memory and I'm too lazy to go outside and check..) must not be reduced in pressure apparently as this makes them susceptible to damage.
    They're flogged as "all terrain" tyres but the 2 year road hazard warranty doesn't apply to unsealed roads. Now would you believe it? Someone using a non guarantee to get a sale.
    However I've reached a reasonably satisfactory compromise with the dealer about a replacement for the one tyre which has suffered 3 punctures and more wear than the other 3 on the road during a recent trip but certainly won't buy them again.
    I will look at this British website as well before making a decision.

    For 2 reasons I think this is a 3.0 brake - firstly the pad contact area is wider than the 2.7 contact area and the 2.7 fits 17" rims but the gap between the 18" and the caliper here is too small.

    You would have to know the vehicle model, whether the wheel offset is within legal spec, or if the calipers have been shaved, to make a definite determination...

    The first mob I would be looking at if I proceed would be putting 18's on it.
    Excuse my ignorance but can the black 18" Tuffants fit straight on to a D4 3.0 HSE to replace the 19"'s?
    I noted mention of brake caliper issues above and it got me concerned.
    Thanks
    Yes they were made to fit all D4 models, as are compomotive and newer Moab rims.

    Ala my post above re offset and shaving calipers, I recall from previous discussion on these wheels that they need one or both of the above.

    With a 30P offset they should, but they aren’t legal in some states.

    18 inch D4 rims

    FYI I run a set of the Moab 18” rims on my 2011 3.0 D4. Load rating I believe is 980kg. I have used them up north on lots of heavily corrugated roads and recently lots of driving on soft sand on Fraser Island with pressures down at 16 and 18 psi all with no problems. Relatively cheap price, easy availability, and ( at least my opinion), good looks. BFG KO2 tyres.
    Cheers
    Mario
