Thread: V8 front brake calliper clearance 18" rim?

Could someone eye-ball the minimum clearance between the front brake calliper and an 18" rim for me please? I'm thinking it must be around 5mm but would like to know if its less, possibly more like 2-3mm.

This is in regards to trying to estimate how close an 18" would be to fitting over the 360mm discs on the 3.0 D4. I understand the V8 D3 discs are 350mm, even though LR's 2008 and 2009 brochures show 317mm. The D4 callipers are new "which serves to reduce the size of the front brake package" according to LR published data, so perhaps the V8 D3 clearance is inconclusive.

TIA.

I'll be watching this closely. LR Techs (the one's I speak too at least) seem completely clueless, or just say say 'no' - before admitting they haven't tried.

So, whevever is the first here with a D4, please check this out.
