I had checked (even though I'm loath to buy Chinese made) and the Kimberley doesn't come in a spec that will fit a D4. The Simpson has an Offset of +44 which presumably could fit but they only have five in stock and I want six.

But, amazingly, it seems I can import six Diewe rims from the UK in time and cheaper after accounting for freight.

My major concern is that the Diewe rims have an offset of +45 whereas Tombie tells me that the original D4 rims have an offset of +53. So I don't know at this stage whether they will fit around my calipers or not.

If you look here: Discovery 4

It says they do at ET29 spec as per this page: TuffAnt Kimberley LT | TuffAnt

If you are after the +44 spec then obviously they don't tick that box.

Yep. That's the problem. Thanks anyway.

What’s your end game?

Caliper clearance is the challenge.

BFG A/T KO2's (a tyre I know) have been challenged and Falken Wildpeaks AT3W's (your recommendation) supported.

So, I'll have a good look at them. Thanks.

Now I just need more confidence that brake calipers won't get in the way with +45 offset rims.

I have MOAB on MY 16 D4, with 70,000 k. no problems so far , fitted with 265,65 x18

Offset won’t solve the calliper clearance problem, it’s internal wheel profile that will help there.

The AT3W is far superior to BFGs offering.

It's not as hard as you are making out, any 18" rim designed for a 3.0 D4 will clear the calipers. If I needed them it would be the tuffant Kimberly wheels.

He doesn’t seem to want the guaranteed options though.

I’m gathering he’s looking at a generic 18” alternative.

The type that crack and you throw away after the first trip.

if you mean fit then fair enough.
What is generic when it comes to wheels, one brand is called X and another brand is called Y.
